Abstract

Automation is needed everywhere to cut down on labor and stop electricity theft, which in India accounts for 80% of power losses. According to calculations by Bloomberg, the electrical sector struggles, leading to blackouts and costing $17 billion in lost income yearly, while the country aspires to usher in a new golden age. With the total production of the country at over 250GW as of August 2016, weak infrastructure is to blame for a number of losses, including transmission, distribution, aggregate technical, and commercial losses. Our paper focuses on identifying power theft and calculating the units from the appliance, providing notifications based on consumption. Electrical appliances can be controlled via the internet from anywhere in the world; there is no distance restriction, and they can be manually reset to resume operation. The following is a clear description of this system's primary goals: Theft of energy raises consumer bills and poses a major risk to public safety. Historically, field workers have used balance meters and physical inspections of tamper-evident seals to detect electrical theft. Notify the owner via SMS to identify the theft. Monthly rate and meter readings to the owner. Together with these configurations, an effective Internet of Things (IOT) is defined, allowing users to examine the status of theft associations and meter readings globally at any time and from any location. It also portrays the global connection environment to users. Customers are materially impacted by electricity theft in terms of expense and security. We believe that the current regulatory environment does not sufficiently incentivize suppliers to take the initiative to report fraud.
