Smart Electricity Meter Data Intelligence for Future Energy System

Abstract

In this paper, a smart electricity meter is developed to avoid the power theft in power system. There is a criminal act for electricity theft. This leads to lose in millions of rupees for a nation. To avoid those thefts, a smart electricity meter is designed with Internet of Things (IoT). The aim of this is to design implementation model of electrical energy theft detection without human interaction. The device comprises of sensing device, Arduino, GSM module, power circuit, and LCD display. The devices monitors the unit and send the used data to the user mobile and also display the data in the LCD display. Based on the reference current, the controller detects the current and if it is higher than the limit the theft message is send to the nearby Electricity Board. The shutdown switch is also provided with the device if there is a shutdown the message will send to the corresponding house before a day. The purpose of this framework is to reduce the energy theft cases and accidents occur due to the electricity.
