IoT Based Theft Detection in Three Phase Distribution Line

Power theft is the most common cause of losses in transmission and distribution global electricity supply. This issue is not exclusive to Indian enterprises; it also affects electricity providers in other countries. Every year, electricity companies lose money due to theft. Transmission loss and non-transmission loss are the two forms of losses; some research publications refer to them as technical loss and non-technical loss, respectively. Transmission loss happens when energy is transferred from the generator to the consumer. Non-transmission losses arise as a result of incorrect billing, erroneous meter readings, and electricity theft, among other things. The first two losses can be avoided by obtaining good meter readings and generating an exact bill for power consumption, but energy theft is difficult to prevent because no one knows who is honest and who is not. Even yet, losses due to power theft can be reduced by discovering theft or consumer fraud and taking appropriate action. As we all know, because the cost of fuel is rising every day, the number of people stealing power and utilizing it as a substitute is also rising, so this system is used to combat this type of It is very useful for the authorized agency to control its income loss by preventing electricity theft. As we all know, as the cost of fuel rises, so does the frequency of stealing power and using it as a substitute, making it extremely helpful for the permitted agency to keep track of its revenue loss. As a result, it is critical to develop a system that canidentify electricity theft.
