Abstract

The imbalance of phase loads is a natural negative property of a low-voltage three-phase four-wire network due to uneven connection to the phases and the difference in individual consumer demand for electricity. The imbalance of phase loads in the network nodes leads to a decrease in the quality of electricity, overestimated technical losses in the network and to current overloads in one of the phases of power lines. In the paper, balancing of phase loads in the network is performed using a heuristic algorithm based on average hourly readings of loads and voltages readings of consumer smart meters. The effectiveness of the algorithm was evaluated by reducing losses, maximum currents in the phase wires and the neutral wire in a real feeder of the electrical network
