Arduino Based Electricity Theft Detection
Abstract:
Electrical energy has been considered as an essential form of energy. Whether it is Industrial need or household need, electricity is a must. Nowadays, with the increasing need for electricity, power theft is also increasing.
In this project, we developed theft detection and using Arduino Uno. In this project most important thing magnet sensor and seal sensor when the magnet is detected and even if the seal is broke means the power theft was detected and the system displaying us on the LCD display.
In normal human life, electrical power is the most important thing. But human is wasting the electrical power and somebody doing theft also in the transmission line of TNEB. So that we creates great solution for power management using Arduino microcontroller.
This power theft is a severe problem like load scheduling will just become a hoax because of this Theft. Also, in developing countries like India, this power theft is 30%- 40% of total generated power and the electricity board has to provide this from their funds this results in major losses to electricity boards.
