POWER THEFT PREVENTION SYSTEM VIA REMOTE MONITORING

Energy is indis pensable in our daily routines, which lead to monitoring of illegal usage of electrical power. Here we deployed radio communication and microcontroller system technologies together f o r d etect ing pilferage of power consumption, its control and signaling alerts to local substation to make an efficient real time power monitoring system . The complete operation, detecting and controlling is divided in to transmitting and receving sections, where the former is deployed at the consumer end and the later at electrical substation. The implementation of the automotive system includes an ATMEGA644P microcontroller, GSM to transmit the collected parameters from sensors (curr ent, voltage, frequency) in the transmitting end. The monitored output will be displayed on a PC at the local substation which is at a remote place. Based on the received information, controlling operation is performed
