Predictive phase balancing for demand response
First Claim
1. A system for implementing predictive phase balancing, the system comprising:
- a host system computer; and
logic executable by the host system computer, the logic configured to implement a method, the method comprising;
transmitting a request, for a projected power demand, to each customer of a plurality of customers serviced by a poly-phase grid network;
receiving corresponding projected power demands from at least a portion of the plurality of customers and storing the projected power demands as customer demand profiles;
creating a demand forecast at least in part from the projected power demands collected from the customer demand profiles, the creating comprising breaking down loads for each customer by corresponding phases in the poly-phase power grid network, the loads corresponding to the projected power demands; and
balancing the loads among each of the phases based on any load imbalances determined from the demand forecast;
wherein the logic is further configured to implement;
re-balancing the loads among each of the phases based on load imbalances determined from data collected from a smart meter in conjunction with the projected power demands received from the plurality of customers.

Abstract
Predictive phase balancing is implemented by a host system computer and logic executable by the host system computer. The logic is configured to receive customer demand profiles from each customer serviced by a poly-phase grid network and create a demand forecast from anticipated power demands collected from the customer demand profiles. Creating the customer demand profiles includes breaking down loads for each customer by corresponding phases in the poly-phase power grid network. The loads correspond to the anticipated power demands. The logic is also configured to balance the loads among each of the phases based on any load imbalances determined from the demand forecast.
