Abstract

The electricity sector in the country is facing many problems, one such a major problem is that power theft in power lines and power grids. Still, there are some villages in the country do not have 24 hours electric power, that is there is a shortage of electricity and this lack of power supply is directly impacting on the country’s economic growth. The electricity sector plays a major role in Indian economy. The project is mainly focused on both hardware and software. The project implements power theft detection and other management services such as voice announcement facility to the concerned department, finding the location of power theft, plotting GPS points in google maps, auto police complaint to the nearest police station, power theft location sharing to police and finally capturing photos remotely for proof of theft. Our project consists of SMS enabled application and voice-based application. This project will also consist of the following features such as object detection on the power line and power grid, measuring temperature in the transformer such as high and low and measuring oil level in the transformer. Measuring temperature and oil level in the transformer and taking necessary actions will lead to improving power transmission and it also boosts transformer efficiency.
