IOT Based Power Theft Detection

Abstract

The main objectives of this system are described clearly as follows: theft of electricity increases the costs paid by farmer and can have serious safety consequences. Many farmers are taking benefits of electricity. . But not all farmers are having legal electricity connection. Only those who have taken legal connection are paying the electricity charges. The farmers who are having legal electricity connection are paying charges of illegal connections and they don’t have any idea about this theft of electricity. This system is basically developed for the welfare of farmers. We can use this system for the society, but installation charge more as compare to the electricity theft. Meter readings and rate every month send to the electricity providers through the IOT. Adding with these setup an efficient Internet of Things (IOT) is defined, which portraits the global connection environment to the users and allow them to view the status of meter reading and theft associations globally from anywhere at any time. Theft of electricity has a material impact on customers in terms of cost and safety. We consider that the existing regulatory framework does not adequately encourage suppliers to be proactive in detecting theft. In this document we are requesting views on proposed new supply license obligations to strengthen the arrangements for tackling theft and on the proposed role of Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) in tackling theft when it is not responsibility of suppliers. We are also consulting on additional policy measures and proposals to support suppliers in investigating, detecting and preventing theft. For all the entire system is useful for prevention of thefts and globally connected medium to portrait the meter reading through the IOT to its customers effectively.
