Modelling and Control of Energy Meter Tampering System for Efficient Energy Management

Abstract

Electricity generated in Pakistan is too costly. One (kWh) of electrical energy generated in Pakistan costs almost 14 Rupees. According to a Survey, about 22 percent of the total generated electricity is lost due to these distribution and transmission losses. The efficient energy management of the distribution system has been improved day by day, but the energy measurement and billing section is still ignored which is the biggest cause of reported cases of power theft and huge financial loss to the distribution companies. The objective of this study is based on implementation of an effective energy measurement system that prevents the theft attempts and provides over and under voltage protection to consumer. By using state of the art communication technologies illegal use of electric power can be resolved electronically via real time SMS alert, which reduces the processing time and over and under voltage protection can be made possible, another achievement towards power quality benchmark.
