balancing of power load/power load balancing


Explanation:
"un bilan" is refers to "balancing". You could say it's a "power budget", but is that a task that you'd perform? Remember, French sometimes nominalizes what English may verbalize. I don't know if you can say "power budgeting" ; you probably could. I simply thought that this was "balancing the power load".

You can also say "faire le bilan des puissances", which is way to directly say "balancing the power load." "Faire le bilan" is used in accounting.

"puissances" is in the plural, which leads me to believes that we are dealing with a "load", or varying degrees of power.

I'm not in any way an electrician/electrical engineer. I'm just trying to help.
