Smart metering system optimization using global algorithm
(2021) Bedjil, Amine; Harir, Mustapha; Recioui, Abdelmadjid (Supervisor)
Non-technical losses or electricity theft have been a serious problem in many developing countries for a long time. This study aims to develop a practical method for determining and reducing the non-technical losses in the power grid by detecting where the suspicion of incorrect registration of electricity consumption occurs and reveal the electricity theft. The proposed method summarizes a mathematical optimization method and modeling technique of smart metering system optimization by using a particular algorithm to identify and minimize the measurement errors for increasing the electricity readings accuracy and lowering the electricity losses and related costs.
