Abstract

This article addresses the problem of operational identification and control of unauthorized electricity withdrawals (UEW) in distribution electric networks (DEN) under the operation of the Automated System for Commercial Metering of Electricity (ASCME). The issue involves significant uncertainty regarding the current state of the network and external disturbances, represented by unauthorized electricity consumers. To reduce uncertainty and obtain necessary information, the concept of a virtual DEN model is introduced, representing the ideal state of the network without unauthorized consumers. A new method based on this virtual model is proposed for solving the problem. Conditions for identifying the current state of the DEN are established. Vectors of actual current and voltage values in the virtual network are identified. Additionally, a criterion for localizing UEW and a computational algorithm for automated control are formulated. The results improve the reliability of DEN operations and can be used to develop specialized software for the UEW localization subsystem within the ASCME framework.
