MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541114972 A) filed by Dr. R. Senthilkumar; Dr. G. Sundar; S. S. Anuruthya; Athulya; R. M. Deepika; and K. Tamilarasi, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'real time load shedding for power lines.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. R. Senthilkumar; Dr. G. Sundar; S. S. Anuruthya; Athulya; R. M. Deepika; and K. Tamilarasi.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Real-time load shedding for power lines is an essential technique for maintaining stability, preventing overload, and ensuring uninterrupted power distribution in modern electrical networks. As demand for electricity continues to rise, conventional load management methods struggle to respond quickly to sudden changes in load conditions, often resulting in voltage fluctuations, equipment stress, and even system failures. * This project aims to design a real-time load shedding system that continuously monitors the load on power lines and automatically disconnects non-critical loads when the system reaches preset thresholds. Using sensors to measure current and voltage in real time, the system identifies overload conditions and activates a relay-based switching mechanism to shed excess load instantly. * A microcontroller processes the sensor data and ensures that only the necessary circuits are disconnected, thereby protecting the network while maintaining essential services. This automated approach provides a faster and more reliable alternative to traditional manual load shedding, improves power system efficiency, reduces the risk of line damage, and enhances overall supply reliability for consumers."
