Abstract

This research describes how to identify power theft in industries and homes using several theft techniques. Electrical energy is essential to daily living and serves as the backbone of the industry. Power theft is an issue that continues to plague the power sector nationwide. The goal of this project is to design a system that will attempt to reduce both the likelihood of theft and the illegal use of electricity. As our daily lives become more dependent on electricity, so does the need for it. This project will automatically gather sensor readings and identify any theft. This concept aims to achieve theft control while reducing the amount of manual manipulation work.

Keywords
