Automatic Load Balancing of Power Distribution System Using MAXQ3183 meter and Powerline Communication

摘要

In electrical power distribution system, it must be ensured that the supply should be constant to the consumers and must meet the load demand of consumers. To ensure that it is required to overcome the difficulties which we are facing now a days in distribution system like power losses, voltage limitations which occurs due to unbalancing of loads. So Load Balancing of distribution system is the important aspect of research in the present growing technical world. In this paper implementation of network reconfiguration method to achieve load balancing in remote distribution system is presented. In this method, we also used already implemented digital meter using MAXQ3183 and with help of powerline carrier communication. The designed prototype is presented and the results for different type of loading conditions in distribution system is also presented. Practical application of this method is shown and is compared with the already existed load balancing methods.
