This project introduces an Anti Power Theft system by using an IoT-based web server to combat electrical power theft, a critical issue causing economic losses and hindering progress. By integrating IoT technology and Anti Power Theft principles, the system efficiently detects and monitors power theft in distribution networks. It collects data from transformers and consumers, analyses it for irregularities indicating theft, and triggers alerts to the grid substation for swift resolution. Emphasis is placed on precise data collection, robust comparison algorithms, and maintaining privacy and security throughout implementation, ensuring the system's reliability and effectiveness in combating power theft.
