Taken from https://cp-algorithms.com/algebra/balanced-ternary.html (I don't know if it is the formal one).
Suppose you have a negative number x, find the smallest non-negative k such that $$$3^k \geq -x$$$, then $$$3^k+x \geq 0$$$. The corresponding representation is $$$(-1)$$$$$$($$$representation of $$$3^k+x$$$$$$)$$$. For instance $$$x=-17=-27+10$$$, then its representation is $$$(-1)(101)$$$
