It is struggling to stay in the battle to keep the supply and demand ratio and a result load shedding ensues. The UPS came to the fore as a short term solution to be used as a backup source in the period of load shedding. It is effective but not very elegant as it wastes a lot of energy during charging and supplying power from batteries and put a huge burden on grid system as well. Thus this project focuses on the design and implementation of a solution to the load shedding crisis. This solution is proven to be cheaper, more efficient and much more elegant to the standard UPS that is being used as a norm in our households today. Its performance has invoked a hope that it will eliminate the need for a UPS in the near future.enElectricity production sectorLoad sheddingBS ThesisDESIGNING AND SIMULATION OF RESIDENTIAL LOAD MANAGEMENT USING POWER LINE COMMUNICATIONThesis
