Design and fabrication of power consumption network to prevent energy pilferage
2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICEEICT 2015)(2015)
Abstract
Energy pilferage is a very common problem in countries like Bangladesh where consumers of electricity is increasing consistently. As a result pilferage contributes heavy revenue losses of power generation and distribution authority which creates financial impacts to reduce income from the electricity sales and make a requisition of extra charge to consumer. It seems devastating that about 13.5% of total power in Bangladesh is lost non-technical way including power pilferage. If pilferage could be intercepted than a prodigious energy would be retrieved. In this system current transformers are used in several specific points like consumer end, distribution transformers/poles. These units will send their data to a base unit through GSM 900. Base unit interfaced with GSM transceiver encode, reform and process the numerical analysis of the data. Major programming languages had been introduced to outline the concept of pilferage, relating the methodologies, tracking out the theft, and finally disconnect the defected/corrupted line. The intention of this concept to avert the common trends of energy pilferage such as shorting the input and output terminals to bypass energy meter, using the external phase before meter terminals, switching the energy cables in connector box to divert current from CT at the energy meter and unauthorized connections drawn from distribution line. Besides it will provide a real-time overview of whole power distribution.
