  • Abstract
    Secondary distribution network, generally speaking, performs as well as the performance of its LV feeders. The main problem a feeder is experiencing is the load unbalancing due to the stochastic nature of its individual single-phase loads: bigger losses in certain phase accompanied with bed voltage regulation and voltage unbalance. The aim of this paper is to address the issue of automatic balancing as progressing from the end of the feeder towards the front using smart device based on three-ways switch selector and artificial intelligence algorithm to minimize the neutral current.
