Cloud Based Load Balancer for Energy Conservation
Imbalanced electrical loads result in reduced efficiency of connected equipment and wiring, leading to substantial energy waste and financial losses. Maintaining equilibrium in the electrical system can be accomplished by evenly distributing single-phase loads across the three phases, either through manual or automatic methods. Real-time monitoring of voltage and current levels across all transformer phases and individual loads enables automated load distribution or management. This data can be instantly uploaded to cloud storage for remote accessibility, facilitating efficient load balancing and scheduling. A processing device executes an algorithm that analyzes the incoming data and determines how to redistribute loads across different phases based on the received current measurements. This process aims to bring the system closer to a balanced state. TRIAC Switches enable the transfer of loads from the current phase to any other phase. This system enhances efficiency and stability while minimizing time, energy, and financial losses.
