Abstract

Electrical energy has long been seen as a necessary kind of energy. Electricity is required for both industrial and domestic use. With the increased need for electricity, power theft is on the rise. This power theft is a serious issue, and load scheduling will become a fraud because of it. Electricity theft is often accomplished through one of two methods which is bypassing or hooking. To identify it, a system of measuring current, voltage, apparent power, and kilowatt per hour (kWh) is proposed, with the measurements taken at the consumer energy meter and distribution line. Therefore, the proposed energy meter monitors the measurements and uploads it to the Blynk cloud, where the electrical authority may examine the information. The power reading may be sent to the cloud using an ESP 32 WiFi module. It leverages IoT in certain ways to automate the process of measuring energy use at the consumer energy meter and distribution line. The received data will then be analysed and compared by electricity authority to determine whether there is power theft. If the electricity authority detects a minimal discrepancy between the kWh from the distribution line and the consumer energy meter, they may trigger the online switch to disconnect the consumer electricity. As a result, the electricity authority will take the necessary procedures.
