2. Introduction
• Smart energy meters are a modern alternative to traditional meters,
capable of real-time data collection and remote monitoring.
• These meters offer enhanced accuracy, automated billing, and efficient
energy management. One of the major issues with traditional energy
meters is energy theft, which leads to significant financial losses for power
companies.
• With IoT integration, smart energy meters can detect power theft by
analyzing consumption patterns and detecting unusual activities. This
project aims to design and implement a smart energy meter that leverages
IoT technology to monitor power consumption and alert authorities about
potential theft.

10. Energy Theft Detection Mechanism
Energy theft occurs through various methods, such as direct hooking, meter bypassing,
or tampering with meter readings. The smart energy meter employs multiple strategies to
detect and prevent unauthorized electricity usage.
• Real-Time Power Analysis: Compares expected and actual consumption patterns.
• AI-Based Anomaly Detection: Identifies sudden spikes or drops in usage.
• Tamper Detection Sensors: Detect physical tampering attempts.
• Remote Alert System: Sends notifications to authorities if theft is detected.
• Once theft is identified, the system can either notify the authorities or trigger automatic
disconnection of power.
