billing indiscretions, and unpaid bills” [ T.B. Smith, 2008]
What is Powertheft……?
• The use of electrical power without a contract with the Supplier, or
• Interfering this system in a way to adulterate its measurement.
BACKGROUND
Electricity theft is a very communal problem in countries like Ghana.
Every year in Ghana, there is a very increasing number of electricity theft across
domestic and as well as industrial supply, this results in:
• loss of energy.
• power outages.
• load shedding.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/powertheft1-defencefinale-190211235959/85/WIRELESS-Power-theft-DETECTION-3-320.jpg)
![PROBLEMSTATEMENT
Over the years Power theft has been an issue that the country is battling with.
“About 30% of the power supplied was lost through theft and other
illegal activities” [W. Hutton-Mensah, 2014]
However, these bulk losses caused by the theft and other illegal
connections must be solved by electronic wireless means.
Our proposed system will detect power theft on the distribution
lines and send a signal to the supplier for swift response.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/powertheft1-defencefinale-190211235959/85/WIRELESS-Power-theft-DETECTION-4-320.jpg)
