Centralized Electricity Billing and Monitoring System with Power Theft Control

Wireless power meter monitoring with power theft detection and intimation system using GSM and Zigbee networks

With the electric industry undergoing change, increased attention is being focused on power supply reliability and power quality. Power providers and users alike are concerned about reliable power, whether the focus is on interruptions and disturbances or extended outages. Monitoring can provide information about power flow and demand and help to identify the cause of power system disturbances....

Centralized Sliding Mode Control of Power System with UPFC

In this article is proposed a Centralized Sliding Mode Control (CSMC) applied to a UPFC device for controlling power flow and enhancing power system stability. First, we establish a state-space dynamic model of UPFC based on Kirchhoff’s equations and (d-q) transformation. This model includes the two voltage source inverters and the DC bus voltage link. Furthermore, in order to cancel the effect...

A Methodology for the Design of an Electricity Theft Monitoring System

Utility companies in Ghana estimate that electricity theft costs them over a billion US dollars in annual revenues. The purpose of this work is to provide an algorithm for the design of electricity theft monitoring system which allows violators to be detected at a remote location. It begins with the analysis of losses in electrical power systems. The bulk of these losses are caused by electrici...

Implementation of Apriori Algorithm on Electricity Billing System

The relationships among the classes play an important role for the selection of the object-oriented database. In this context, association rules show the relationship between the two classes. As the object-oriented design for the development of the software grows, the relationships among the classes also grow towards the complex software design but one can develop optimize object-oriented desig...
