1. A utility distribution transformer overload/blackout preventing system, the system comprises:
a utility service provider serving a plurality of users through a utility distribution transformer and a utility load-balancing system, the utility load balancing system comprising:
a local storage battery associated with a user of the utility service provider;
an inverter coupled to the local storage battery;
a temperature sensing module configured to receive, in real-time, heat variation values of the utility distribution transformer;
an electrical output-sensing module to sense real-time electrical output values of said utility distribution transformer and calculate an output demand at a particular time;
a database configured to store historical and real-time values of heat variations, electrical output variations, and calculated demand variations with respect to time;
an analysis module configured to compare the received real-time values with one or more historical values to determine a performance of the utility distribution transformer; and
a communication module adapted to provide communication between the inverter, the utility service provider, and the user through an user application interface,
wherein if said determination detects a reduced power output and an increase in temperature of the transformer, sending an alert to a utility service provider, or if said determination detects a decrease in the transformer output power without a change in the temperature of the transformer, discharging the stored electrical energy from the local storage battery into the power grid to balance the load.
