Abstract |
|
Theft of electricity is the criminal practice of stealing electrical power. It is a crime and is punishable by fines and/or incarceration. There are various types of electrical power theft; by using microcontroller some of the types of power theft are detected. Power factor control is a major role in the improvement of power system stability. Thus power factor calculation and improvement is also included in this system. The effect of power factor correction circuit is to eliminate the harmonics present in the system. Energy saving system includes the controlling of the switching operation of devices or loads using GSM technology, hence results in considerable energy saving. |
