RF based wireless power theft monitoring

Abstract: -

While technology in on the raising slopes, we should also note the increasing immoral activities.
With a technical view, Power Theft is a non –ignorable crime that is highly prevent, and at the
same time it directly affected the economy of a nation. Electricity theft is a social evil, so it has
to be completely eliminated. Power consumption and losses have to be closely monitored so that
the generated power is utilized in a most efficient manner. The system prevents the illegal usage
of electricity. At this point of technological development the problem of illegal usage of
electricity can be solved electronically without any human control .The implementation of this
system will save large amount of electricity, and there by electricity will be available for more
number of consumer then earlier, in highly populated country such as INDIA.

In this Project we use both RF technology and embedded system technology for electricity theft
detection. One RF transmitter is implementing on the energy meter installed in the consumer’s
home. That RF transmitter is transmitting the pulse generated of our traditional energy meter.
And another RF receiver is installed on the nearest substation with 8051 micro controller and
LCD so that supervisor can always monitor the actual status of traditional energy meter just
sitting over a single place. This system can install in the entire consumer’s home. If any kind of
theft is happening in the consumer’s home supervisor can easily detect by using these system.
