DETECTION USING
PLC:
Power theft detection using
Power Line Communication
(PLC) is an approach that
utilizes the existing electrical
power distribution network to
detect irregularities in power
consumption patterns,
potentially indicating
unauthorized consumption.
Here's an overview of how a PLC-based
power theft detection system works:
❖ Periodic checks:
Electricity theft frequently takes place after service has
been disconnected. Some utility companies periodically
check disconnected meters if the customer has not
contacted them to reconnect service.
❖ Enforcement of law:
Fines should be imposed by the government for stealing
electricity.
CONCLUSION
Power theft is a critical issue that affects both utility
companies and society as a whole. As we've seen
throughout this presentation, it leads to financial
losses, overloading of the power grid, and
compromised safety.
