Dynamic Load Balancing and Reactive Power Compensation Switch embedded in Power Meters

Abstract

This paper proposes a dynamic intelligent load balancing and reactive power compensation switch plugin for power meters and a smart scalable system architecture applicable as addon on top of the existing power distribution networks. The load balancing module will improve the load balance in a network and thus decrease the power losses, whereas the distributed reactive power compensator will decrease the total reactive power. The novel approach is presented from its IT/networks perspective as well as from the physical layer with oscilloscope measurements and time analysis of the phase swapping event.
