    Abstract: The present invention relates to power supply control and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for simultaneously or individually supplying power to multiple connected devices. A method for managing power supply to a device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: measuring power consumption of at least one connected device; when the measured power consumption exceeds an allowed power supply level, determining the priority of each of the at least one connected device; and controlling power supply to each of the at least one connected device on the basis of the determined priority, wherein the priority of each of the at least one connected device is determined on the basis of the power consumption pattern and connected time of the corresponding connected device. The present invention relates to a technology for a sensor network, machine-to-machine (M2M), machine type communication (MTC), and the Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be used for intelligent services (smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety-related service, and the like) on the basis of the technology.

    Abstract: A server and a controlling method of a server are provided. The server includes a communication interface, a memory configured to store priorities of each of a plurality of spaces, and a processor configured to control a plurality of air conditioners arranged in the plurality of spaces, and the processor may, based on a total power usage of the plurality of air conditioners exceeding a first threshold value, control the plurality of air conditioners to operate in a power peak control mode to reduce the total power usage, and based on the total power usage being less than a second threshold value while operating in the power peak control mode, control the plurality of air conditioners to sequentially switch to a general mode according to the priority.
