Abstract: ABSTRACT: IoT-Enabled System for Real-Time Electricity Theft Detection and Mitigation This invention describes an IoT-enabled electricity theft detection system designed to address unauthorized power usage in electricity distribution networks. The system utilizes sensors to monitor electrical parameters, including current flow and voltage levels, detecting anomalies indicative of theft. Data from the sensors is processed by ESP modules and transmitted to a centralized server, which applies advanced algorithms to identify irregularities. Upon detection, the system triggers local alerts through LED indicators and DC motors, simulating power disconnection, and sends remote notifications to utility providers via dashboards or mobile applications. Integrated relay modules enable automated grid control, allowing disconnection or reconnection of power to mitigate theft incidents. The system seamlessly integrates with existing utility infrastructure, providing real-time monitoring, enhanced grid reliability, and data-driven insights for theft prevention. By ensuring operational efficiency and promoting lawful electricity use, this invention offers a scalable, adaptive, and secure solution to electricity theft challenges
