Abstract
Intelligent load balancing is conducted by monitoring loads in phases at nodes and commanding phase switches of a plurality of nodes to rotate phases. Preferred embodiments identify load balancing problems among phases in three-phase systems and utilize a modified legacy network of power meters or an existing smart network of power meters to implement a control algorithm that achieves dynamic, intelligent load balancing.
