Abstract There is a huge difference between electricity production and its demand. In order to meet the requirements, a selective power cut is carried out which is currently based on area and time. Although this is a simplistic solution, it has many drawbacks such as the area gets completely deprived of even the very basic appliances such as lights and fans, which do not contribute significantly to the power consumption. This creates a need to come up with a solution so that no one gets deprived of using basic appliances at any time and still be able to reduce power consumption to fulfill the ever-growing demand. This work has dealt with the same by implementing a device selective protocol which can selectively cut power of particular devices depending on their energy rating, power rating, manufacturer etc. by the use of power line carrier communication. Hence, revolutionizing the whole concept of area selective power cut to device selective power cut. Since, IoT refers to a network of devices or “Things”, this work incorporates the basic principles of IoT by essentially creating a network of devices which can communicate with each other, over low bandwidth.

1 Introduction Today, there is one part in the society, which gets electricity for basic as well as luxury purposes and the other part, which is still not getting electricity, not even for basic lighting purposes. Rural places that have access to electricity are often deprived of uninterrupted supply [1]. Currently, due to power shortage, electricity is distributed turn wise. Due to this, during outages, people cannot access even basic things such as light bulbs and fans as everyone cannot afford power backup systems and even the electricity quality is not satisfactory [2]. * Sumit Kumar Jindal [email protected] 1

If the power production is less, different areas get electricity in turns. For a certain time period, some areas get electricity while the others do not. Although this is quite an effective solution, it has many problems. When there is a power cut for a certain area, that area gets deprived of the very basic appliances too such as lights and fans, which do not contribute significantly to the overall power
