Resumo
Recent evolution of smart grids is causing a big demand for new operations and services, specially to the low voltage consumers grid. Among those processes, load balancing detaches for ensuring stable states between feeders.This paper presents some results about the design of an automated process for load balancing feeders in final consumption units of a small urban smart grid using a Timed Hierarchical Petri net. The main objective is to analyze the proposed system and establish an efficient and reliable process workfow to automate load balancing and ensure stability while minimizes intervention. As a result it improves the quality of power service to the low voltage final consumers.
