Power Theft Identification Using Embedded System
Abstract
Today, power theft plays the key role in transmission losses of electricity from the generating station to the consumer end. About 30% of power produced is being theft. Though the electricity boards know that there is power theft in the area under their vigilance, they are not able to locate the area or location of theft. So, to identify the power theft and to communicate to the EB there needs a system to be developed. Here comes the system developed by us which will find the power theft if it happens and sends the information about the place of the theft to the nearby Electricity Board.
