Abstract

In recent years, various types of power theft incidents have occurred frequently, and the training of the power-stealing detection model is susceptible to the influence of the imbalanced data set and the data noise, which leads to errors in power-stealing detection. Therefore, a power-stealing detection model is proposed, which is based on Improved Conditional Generation Adversarial Network (CWGAN), Stacked Convolution Noise Reduction Autoencoder (SCDAE) and Lightweight Gradient Boosting Decision Machine (LightGBM). The model performs Generation- Adversarial operations on the original unbalanced power consumption data to achieve the balance of electricity data, and avoids the interference of the imbalanced data set on classifier training. In addition, the convolution method is used to stack the noise reduction auto-encoder to achieve dimension reduction of power consumption data, extract data features and reduce the impact of random noise. Finally, LightGBM is used for power theft detection. The experiments show that CWGAN can effectively balance the distribution of power consumption data. Comparing the detection indicators of the power-stealing model with various advanced power-stealing models on the same data set, it is finally proved that the proposed model is superior to other models in the detection of power stealing.

Highlights

  • Power safety is of great significance to social production and citizen daily life

  • Illegal cross-connecting cables by power theft will keep the transformer at the end of the power grid overloaded for a long time, which directly affects the stability of normal power supply and reasonable power allocation by power supply companies, and leads to great security risks

  • The new CSL power-stealing detection model proposed in this paper deals with unbalanced data sets through CWGAN

Summary

Introduction

Power safety is of great significance to social production and citizen daily life. In recent years, various types of power theft incidents have occurred frequently, causing huge economic losses to the state and power supply companies, and disrupting the power order of legal power consumers.In addition, illegal cross-connecting cables by power theft will keep the transformer at the end of the power grid overloaded for a long time, which directly affects the stability of normal power supply and reasonable power allocation by power supply companies, and leads to great security risks.With the continuous emergence of new methods of stealing electricity [1], the methods of measuring equipment being privately modified have become more professional [2]. Various types of power theft incidents have occurred frequently, causing huge economic losses to the state and power supply companies, and disrupting the power order of legal power consumers. Illegal cross-connecting cables by power theft will keep the transformer at the end of the power grid overloaded for a long time, which directly affects the stability of normal power supply and reasonable power allocation by power supply companies, and leads to great security risks. Along with the introduction and implementation of the national smart grid, while bringing convenience to power system control, it has caused the amount of consumer electricity data to grow exponentially, and the annual data volume of large cities has already exceeded 10 billion. The explosion of professional power theft and power consumption data has increased the difficulty of power theft investigation and put forward higher requirements for current automatic power theft detection methods
