Claim:
1. A method of use in connection with a multi-phase distribution network having a phase imbalance, the method comprising steps of: determining, via a given single-phase entity of the multi-phase distribution network having the phase imbalance, one or more power consumption parameters associated with the given single-phase entity of the distribution network; determining, via the given single-phase entity, one or more power supply parameters associated with the given single-phase entity of the multi-phase distribution network; and computing, via the given single-phase entity and based on said one or more power consumption parameters and said one or more power supply parameters, at least one of (i) a level of power consumption increase and/or decrease associated with one or more devices of the given single-phase entity and (ii) a level of power supply increase and/or decrease associated with one or more devices of the given single-phase entity to mitigate the phase imbalance across all phases within the multi-phase distribution network; wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
