Abstract:
1. A method of phase balancing a power transmission system, comprising: measuring a current flow on each power line of a plurality of power lines of a first power transmission section of a power transmission system, wherein each said power line is of a different phase, wherein each said power line has at least one first device mounted thereon, wherein each said first device is disposable in each of first and second modes, and wherein changing a given said first device between said first and second modes changes said current flow on its corresponding said power line; identifying a first phase imbalance condition associated with said plurality of power lines in response to said measuring step; locating said first phase imbalance condition in a first data structure, wherein said first data structure comprises a plurality of stored phase imbalance conditions, wherein each said stored phase imbalance condition in said first data structure comprises a phase balancing set of said first devices and a corresponding modal configuration for each said first device in said phase balancing set; disposing each said first device of said phase balancing set in said first mode or said second mode based on its corresponding said modal configuration in said first data structure; and executing a first phase balancing protocol after said disposing step, comprising:
