Abstract
In this paper, the performance of smart grid technology in detection of electricity theft was evaluated in contrast with the traditional means of discovering theft in electricity distribution companies. Data were taken from Ibadan Electricity Distribution Companies in Nigeria, which has been involved in the use of smart grid technologies in recent times. The data used were from the records from electricity theft detection record of the company over the space of 12months when smart grid was not employed through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and when AMI was employed over the period of 12months. The numbers of incidents recorded for the different periods were noted as well as the rates of detection in percentages were noted. This paper points out the importance of improving on the functionalities of energy metering devices by upgrading them from just being System Transfer Specific (STS) one-way communication to Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) two-way communication smart devices. The rates of detections during and after the deployment of Smart Grid (SG) were compared and through the results, it was discovered that there are greater result in term of detection rates with the deployment of smart grid than the traditional method.
