Electricity theft is a pressing issue that impacts both utility providers and consumers, leading to revenue losses and safety hazards. This project focuses on the development and implementation of an innovative solution for electricity theft detection through the application of the Internet of Things (IoT). By integrating IoT sensors, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms, we aim to create a robust and efficient system capable of identifying and mitigating electricity theft in real-time. The proposed system leverages IoT devices to monitor electricity consumption patterns, detect anomalies, and relay data to a centralized platform. Advanced data analytics techniques are employed to analyze the incoming data streams, identifying irregularities that may indicate theft or tampering. Machine learning algorithms are then applied to improve detection accuracy over time by learning from historical data. Key components of the project include the deployment of IoT sensors at strategic points within the electrical grid, the development of a secure and scalable data processing infrastructure, and the creation of a user friendly interface for utility providers to monitor and respond to potential theft incidents promptly. By harnessing the power of IoT technology, this project not only aims to reduce revenue losses for utility providers but also contributes to the overall safety and reliability of the electrical grid. Additionally, it aligns with the broader goals of energy conservation and sustainability by discouraging unauthorized electricity consumption. This abstract provides a brief overview of our project's objectives and methodology in addressing the critical issue of electricity theft. Through the integration of IoT, data analytics, and machine learning, we aspire to create a proactive and effective solution that can significantly mitigate the challenges posed by electricity theft.
