In this paper, the aim is to test out the various existing load shedding approaches along with the proposed approach using Bus Priority Index (BPI). It is a robust hardware and server backed software framework. The complexity of the algorithm using Big O Notation is also discussed. The hardware framework consists of a relay with pseudo loads in the form of bulbs. The relay is driven by a raspberry pi which reads various system parameters from the incoming power line using Schneider PowerLogic Ion 7650 Power and Energy meter via TCP Modbus Protocol. The raspberry takes the decision based on the load shedding logic used and drives the relay accordingly to drop loads and transmits vital info to the server which displays the said data along with pertinent graphical representation in a web interface. The back-end architecture was developed using Python, the front end was made using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery while the analysis was done using MATLAB 2018b. © 2019 IEEE.
