The Price of electricity has gone up from 4 cents to 10 cents per
KWH since 1972. As the price has gone up so has the need to steal
electricity.
Defining the problem:
A primary measure of utility efficiency is "line
loss", the difference between the Mega Wattage (mwh) generated and
purchased and the Mega Wattage (mwh) sold.
Line losses are generally defined as the power lost
when energizing the transmission and distribution system plus other
incidental losses on the system.
World wide line losses range from a low of 4% up to 35%. In
one country the line losses are reported to be 65%.
These losses result in energy shortages, degraded apparatus
life, poor service voltages and loss of revenue.

The technical
losses are typically between 3 and 6% depending on the miles
of wire, age of the system and other factors.
Thus the
non-technical losses, the part of the losses that can be
significantly reduced, range from 1-29%.

Billions of
Dollars in Electricity are Lost each year Due to-
Energy Theft
|
Historically line losses have been
lumped into a single total.
Today many utilities are
differentiating between technical losses: the power required to
energize the entire system; and non-technical losses: the power lost
to other causes.
These non-technical losses include
defective and incorrect metering, human error on installation,
non-metered authorized customers and especially,
theft.
