Improvement of the voltage profile in distribution systems using load balancing and probabilistic load modeling

Mitigating unbalance using distributed network reconfiguration techniques in distributed power generation grids with services for electric vehicles: A review

“…Although phase swapping requires fewer switches than the loads re-configured per phase method, the phase swapping technique becomes unsuitable for the large distribution system. By considering the limitation of the phase balancing approach, several research works were carried out to reduce the phase moving cost (Huang et al 2008;Kashem, Ganapathy & Jasmon 2000;Knolseisen & Coelho 2004;Knolseisen et al 2003;Whei-Min et al 2000;Zhu, Bilbro & Mo-Yuen 1999) for manual implementation and to reduce the number of switching nodes or buses (Soltani, Rashidinejad & Abdollahi 2017) for dynamic phase re-configuration (DPR). The author (Gray & Morsi 2016b) studies the economic feasibility of dynamic phase reconfiguration technology in EV penetrated low voltage (LV) distribution grids.…”

“…This improves major key indicators of a distribution grid through phase swapping technology. The authors of work (Knolseisen & Coelho 2004;Knolseisen et al 2003) used a GA optimization method with the mono-objective approach to minimize the number of phase moving. This study improves voltage drop along feeder, transformer unbalance, and power loss.…”

The phase re-sequencing can be carried out through various ways as shown in TableIII.…”
