Three-Phase Load Balancing in Distribution Systems Using Load Sharing Technique.

Electrical Power quality in distribution systems is crucial to both utility and consumers simultaneously. The main issue that affects the quality factor of electrical distribution systems is phase load imbalance. Phase imbalance is a major issue in distribution networks in Pakistan, India, the United States, China, and other nations and regions. The distribution system in Pakistan is normally a three-phase, four-wire system, whereas our residential and commercial loads are often single-phase, resulting in an unbalanced system. These unbalanced circumstances in the system result in single-phasing, overloading, and overheating situations, and the return of current to neutral, as well as increased power system investment and operational expenses. In this paper, several methodologies for phase balance are being studied. After researching several techniques of phase balancing and building on that methodology, a simulation prototype is developed, and different unbalanced situations are studied. To analyze unbalanced conditions in practical mode, a hardware prototype is developed on the basis of simulation. Examined some unbalanced loads on the simulation prototype and then on the hardware prototype and achieved the best possible load balancing on phases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
