Abstract
Detection and localization of illegal electricity usage are important issue for power distribution companies. In order to detect illegal electricity usage, network current-based methods using smart meters were mostly used in previous researches. The main disadvantages of those methods are that they are unable to detect the exact location of illegal electricity usage. In addition, all users must be disconnected from the power system to detect the exact location. In this research, an inspection robot proposed for detecting and localizing of illegal electricity usage. The inspection robot can define location of illegal electricity usage on the air transmission line without disconnecting the end user's electric connection. In addition, this method can indicate fault location of transmission line. This paper presents a novel mobile sensing-based localization method for illegal electricity usage by using an inspection robot, and it is verified through simulation and experiment results.
