Abstract

Energy theft is a big problem that leads to financial losses and weakens the stability of power distribution systems. Traditional ways of detecting theft often don't work well against modern methods like tampering with meters or making illegal connections. To solve this, our work suggests using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Smart meters and IoT sensors can collect electricity usage data in real time, and machine learning can then analyze this data to spot unusual patterns and possible theft. This system makes theft detection more accurate, allows real-time monitoring, and provides a scalable and affordable way to improve energy security and support sustainable power distribution.
