Apparatus and methods in accordance with this invention may be used with a distribution feeder that includes switches and line sections between adjacent switches, each switch being a switching point of the distribution feeder. In particular, methods and apparatus in accordance with this invention determine a first load at a first switch and a second load at a second switch coupled to the first switch via a first line section, communicate the first load and a first load budget from the first switch to the second switch, determine a third load on the first line section based on the first load and the second load, and determine a second load budget at the second switch based on the first load budget and the third load, all substantially in real time. Numerous other aspects are also provided. |
