Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for reducing demand on a power grid through demand side management includes receiving assigned priorities from a user for smart appliances (106) and for appliances plugged into sockets (104) of one or more smart plugs of the user, the assigned priorities indicative of a user-preferred sequence for disconnection of, or adjustment of power to, the appliances from the power grid. The system determines whether to disconnect or adjust power to at least one of the appliances of the user; and selects at least one of the appliances according to the assigned priorities to reduce demand on the power grid. The system sends one or more commands, the one or more commands indicative to the one or more smart plugs to disconnect or adjust power to the selected at least one of the appliances based on selecting at least one of the appliances.
