Abstract

One of the common types of electricity theft occurs by tampering with smart meters (SMs) to pay less than the actual consumption. This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method for detection and location of electricity theft (DLET) in smart distribution systems. The proposed method combines SMs and observer meters (OMs) data to reflect both spatial information of the grid bus connection and daily temporal data, simultaneously. The spatial information becomes the spatial axis and the daily data becomes the temporal axis of the input 2D image for the CNN. Furthermore, the spatial information of SMs and OMs is conserved by matching the kernel size of CNN with the spatial axis of the input image. The proposed method is evaluated by SimBench dataset, which includes bus connection and temporal data. As a result, the proposed method outperforms traditional methods for detection of electricity theft.
