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

摘要

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