OVER VIEW
v The objective of the project is to identify methods for
detecting power theft.

v The power theft is to be i. detected, ii.located and


iii. communicated to the authorities.

v Parameters of power delivery includes power line current,


power line voltage and network load distribution.

POWER LINE COMMUNICATION(PLC)
v PLC is a kind of communication technology, which uses Medium Voltage(MV) & Low
Voltage(LV) distribution network as the communication media to implement
transmission of data, voice and real time image.

v The components involved in PLC are the

v Power Line Carrier Unit – provide signal transmission and reception

v Coupler – for “clamping” around a live wire thus injecting the communication signals
into the power line.

v PLC modem

v The monitoring system mainly has the following


functions:
1.Remote meter-reading
2.Data acquisition
3.Thread loss
PLC TRANSMISSION

v PLC transmissions are synchronized to the zero crossing point


of the AC power line. It should be transmitted as close to the
zero crossing point i.e. within 200 μs.

v square wave with a max Delay of 100 μs from the zero


crossing point

v The maximum delay between signal envelope input and


120KHz output bursts is 50 μs.

v Therefore, it should be arranged that outputs to the within


50 μs.
PLC TRANSMISSION

CODE TRANSMISSION
v A Binary 1 is represented by a 1 ms burst of 120 KHz the
zero crossing point and a Binary 0 by the absence of
120 KHz.

v Therefore only the 1 ms "envelope" need be applied to


their inputs.

v These 1 millisecond bursts should actually be transmitted


three times to coincide with the zero crossing points of all
three phases in a three phase distribution system.
CODE TRANSMISSION

wa ve
CODE TRANSMISSION

v A complete code transmission encompasses eleven cycles


of the power line.

v The first two cycles represent a Start Code. The next four
cycles represent the House Code and the last five cycles
represent either a Number Code or a Function Code.

v This complete block, (Start Code, House Code, and Key


Code) should always be transmitted in groups of 2 with 3
power line cycles between each group of 2 codes.

Results
vUnder power theft, the relay is switched off
isolating the area of power theft from the EB
side .

vLCD display also indicates power theft.


CONCLUSIONS
vThe system functions with real-time
monitoring users and burden forecast, which
uses MV&LV PLC as its transmission media.

vThe system is integrated with power


management and burden control.
