University inventors have come up a way to minimize active losses and improve voltage balance in a power distribution system. The invention relies on networked mechanisms within common power meters and a simple add-on to dynamically balance the power distribution system in case of isolated failure or fluctuations. The load balancing is done on a customer level and the whole supply area of a certain supply substation is balanced using a recursive algorithm which starts with far end laterals and finishes at the root node.
