Abstract

Electricity stealing not only makes great economic losses, but also threatens the order and security of power supply seriously. This paper starts from electricity theft, and puts forward an anti-electricity theft design based on electricity comparative method. According to programming realization and simulation test by MATLAB, we verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the design. The anti-electricity theft design can be applied to demotic users and middle/small-sized enterprises to reduce loss from electricity theft.
