- Description: Abstract: Secondary distribution networks generally perform as well as its LV feeders are performing. The main problem that a feeder is experiencing would be the load unbalancing due to the stochastic nature of its individual single-phase loads: larger losses in certain phases accompanied by bad voltage regulation and voltage unbalance. In order to address this problem, it may be economical to install apparatus to automatically balance or partially balance the loads progressing from the end of the feeder towards the front using smart devices based on a three-ways switch selector and an artificial intelligence algorithm to minimize the neutral current. The main idea behind this paper is therefore to keep the three phases progressively balanced along the whole length of the line. A Support Vector Machines (SVM) implementation and a heuristic method are presented as the numerical algorithms

- Description: Abstract: The electrical network system is to ensure that an adequate supply is available to meet the estimated load of the consumers in both the near and more distant future. This must of course, be done for minimum possible cost consistent with satisfactory reliability and quality of the supply. In order to avoid excessive voltage drop and minimize loss, it may be economical to install apparatus to balance or partially balance the loads. It is believed that the technology to achieve an automatic load balancing lends itself readily for the implementation of different types of algorithms for automatically rearranging the connection of consumers on the low voltage and of a feeder for optimal performance. In this paper the fuzzy logic is been implemented to balance the load in the secondary part of the transformer
