IOT Power Theft Identification and Monitoring

Abstract

Now a days we can’t imagine today’s life without electricity, almost all the things, equipment and appliances we are using in day to day life are using ELECTRIC power to run smoothly. Ever since the advent of electricity it has become an integral part of our life. Solar energy is the alternative but is has some limitations like environmental changes, high initial cost etc. In todays present world every little appliance works on electricity from the electric toothbrush to huge motors. So from rural to urban and from domestic to industrial areas the use of electricity is increased but with the power theft hand in hand. Using IOT based power theft identification and monitoring a system can find the dishonest user by identifying the status of energy meter at the back end of power office.
