Load Balancing (LB) Siemens PSS SINCAL Optimization and Planning Modules

Load Balancing (LB)

The module Load Balancing (LB) in PSS®SINCAL can be used in unbalanced networks to optimize the connection of single- and two-phase connected loads with the objective to achieve a balanced system loading. Complete feeders can be re-linked as a whole.

Load balancing is a combinatorial problem which is solved by using a genetic optimization algorithm that varies the combinations of the connected phases of single phase (L1-G, L2-G, L3-G) and two-phase (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) connected loads.

The result of the optimization is the system configuration that results in the lowest system unbalance factor of all analyzed combinations.

The result dialog lists the existing and newly proposed phase connections for loads where changes in phase connection would achieve a more balanced load flow in the network. The result can be reviewed in the result dialog window where changes of the connected phases can be applied to the network for selected loads.
