IOT Based Power Theft Detection and Smart Energy Metering

– The advancement of technology has revolutionized the way we monitor and manage power consumption. In this era of heightened energy awareness, the need for efficient power monitoring systems is paramount. This paper presents a comprehensive project on a Power Monitoring System with Power Theft Detection, utilizing Arduino microcontroller technology coupled with current and voltage sensors. The system aims to monitor power usage, detect instances of power theft, and provide real-time alerts to authorities via GSM communication. The integration of multiple sensors enables the detection of overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent conditions, ensuring the safety and reliability of the power distribution system. Through this project, we explore the design, implementation, and functionality of such a system, highlighting its potential applications in enhancing energy security and combating power theft.
