Electricity Theft Detection Seminar

The document proposes an electricity theft detection system that uses sensors connected before and after an electricity meter to detect theft by bypassing the meter. If one sensor detects a signal while the other does not, it indicates theft has occurred. The system includes an AVR microcontroller that communicates via GSM modem to send an SMS notification to the electricity board control unit when theft is detected. The system automates monitoring for theft and notification to address the problems of electricity theft and power shortages.

ELECTRICITY THEFT DETECTION USING GSM

INTRODUCTION
Electricity Theft is a very common problem in countries like India, where population is very high and the users of electricity are ultimately tremendous. In India, every year there is a very increasing no of electricity thefts across domestic electricity connections as well as industrial electricity supply, which results in loss of electricity companies energy and because of which we are facing the frequent problems of LOAD SHADING in urban as well as rural area so as to overcome the need of electricity for whole state. Also the ways using which theft can be done are also innumerable so we can never keep track of how a theft has occurred, and this issue is needed to be solved as early as possible In this abstract, we propose an electricity theft detection system to detect the theft which is made by the most common way of doing the theft and that is BYPASSING THE METER using a piece of wire, people simply bypasses the electricity meter which is counting the current units by placing a wire before and after the meter reading unit. The proposed system will be hidden in such meters and as soon as an attempt is made for the theft, it will send an sms to control unit of electricity board The circuit uses AVR Microcontroller to communication with the GSM modem to send the sms, and the theft detection sensors are connected in series with the meter, before and after the meter, if both the sensors show no signal, it means there is power failure, and if one of them shows signal and other one dont show anything, it means there is theft, the information will then be quickly processed by the microcontroller and an sms will be sent through the GSM modem.

MICROCONTROLLER BASED AUTOMATION: Embedded systems - a combination of software, hardware and additional mechanical parts that together forms a component of a larger system, to perform a specific function. Its a technology, characterized by high reliability, restricted memory footprint and real time operation associated with a narrowly defined group of functions. Automation has made the art of living comfortable and easy. Embedded systems have made the process of automation a most successful one. Here, we have focused on automotive, an area of embedded controllers, in which we have dealt with the Power theft identification and also about the remote monitoring of an energy meter. The microcontroller chip is preprogrammed to perform a dedicated or a narrow range of functions as a part of a larger system, usually with minimal end user or operator intervention. Our paper throws light on automated monitoring of theft identification, which is an application of embedded controllers.
