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.enSmart metering systemOptimizationGlobal algorithmSmart metering system optimization using global algorithmThesis
