Abstract
Detection and localization of illegal electricity usage are important issue for power delivery companies of power system. In order to detect illegal electricity usage, network current-based methods using smart meter were mostly used in previous researches. Two main disadvantages of these methods are that they are unable to detect the exact location of illegal electricity usage. The latter is all users must be disconnected from the power system to detect the location. In this research, inspection robot can be used for detecting of illegal electricity usage. The inspection robot can define location of illegal electricity usage on the air transmission line without disconnection. In addition, this method can indicate fault location of transmission line. This paper presents a novel mobile sensing-based localization method for illegal electricity usage by using inspection robot, and it is verified through simulation results.
