What is meant by 60% AT&C loss ??

If we buy 100 units and bill & collect money for 40 units, then our AT&C loss is 60%

How 60% loss can happen in a DESCOM ??Is major reason theft ?

It can happen if 60% consumers are involved in theft

It can happen if 100% consumers are involved in theft and are doing 60% theft !!

A loss reduction from 60% to 20% means sale up from 40% to 80% OR consumers will pay double !!!In 2004, BSES Delhi felt – it is “some thing Else”

– Need More Data

Major Loss Components

Technical loss

Energy which cannot be metered and billed due to loss in network

Prime reason is network quality and loading characteristics

Process loss

Energy accounting loss due to improper consumer registration, metering issue, meter reading and finally billing

Need Process strengthening

TheftLoss

Theft of electricity either by dishonest abstraction of energy through meter tempering or by direct theft of power.

a) Theft through meterb) DT- direct theftc)Accessories tampering

In order to reduce the loss, it is important to work on all three aspects.

Page 9: Metering – Revenue Protection And Loss Reduction ... · Reduction Strategies. Sharing BSES Delhi Experience. Rajesh Bansal, Sr. Vice President, Head (Network), BSES Delhi ... energy

Initial Strategies …….

100% Metering

100% consumer static metering.

All EHV, HT feeder metering with AMR ( 15 min data)

Meter on DT

Only static meters

Ease of new connectionSimplified documentation

Door step service

Vigilance investigation for case delayed / refusal

Consumer increased input decreased

Door to door survey

Basic assumption: Every body need power. Why some one is not taking power connection.

Found many cases of connection refusal, DT and unbilled meters.

DESCOM are used as law enforcing agencies., spl while releasing new connection. Need to take firm stand !!

Metering System – The Guiding principles

Meter Replacement is a massive exercise –ensure long USEFUL life

The revenue loss due to faulty meter can be more than meter cost

Although Basic purpose of meter is Tariff implementation.But it generates lot of information

Energy meter is final interface with consumer

Meter is also called as cash box of Utility. Has to be planned properly

Page 27: Metering – Revenue Protection And Loss Reduction ... · Reduction Strategies. Sharing BSES Delhi Experience. Rajesh Bansal, Sr. Vice President, Head (Network), BSES Delhi ... energy

Theft is both ART and Science

BSES Philosophy – Electricity Theft

What thief will try ………..

• Without damaging the meter• Without Detection• Theft can be done on “will”• Theft for a considerable Quantity• Theft which can not be proved

What is Theft?A deliberate attempt to steal “Considerable amount of energy” by ensuring no / low energy recording in the measuring device.

BSES Philosophy – Electricity Theft

How to control?

Study impact of theft rather than method of theft.

All theft leave evidence. Co-relate method with symptoms.

Theft Theory ………..Any Abnormal condition resulting to

• Slowing of meter• Switching OFF of meter• Can lead to data change

Are potential methods of theft

Kick Start ………..

As Abnormal conditions can result to meter tampering, It can also damage the meters.

Analysis of damaged / field removed meters can give vital clues.

So far…….

To prosecute tempering we need evidence !!

Yes ! As tempering means some abnormalities. If we can detect then we can detect tempering.

Every meter can be tempered. Important is can we catch all tempering.

There are thousand of method. Every day people find new method

By doing some abnormal action, one can do electricity theft

•Loss reduction•Network health• Reduce outage•Power quality

Meter Data is reality

Do Analytics forobjectives

Page 41: Metering – Revenue Protection And Loss Reduction ... · Reduction Strategies. Sharing BSES Delhi Experience. Rajesh Bansal, Sr. Vice President, Head (Network), BSES Delhi ... energy

Analytics - How to Identify Theft ?

AnalyticsTo study data to identify theft

Energy meter data analysis

To study of consumer meter data for abnormalities

Consumption analysis

To study the consumption trend

Billing database analysis

To study billing parameters

Secondary database analysis

To study the survey data

Analytics Philosophy

42

In Energy distribution business .. Healthy network, consumer getting

reliable & quality supply is NORMAL.

The OBJECTIVE of Analytics is to detect and study “ABNORMALITIES”.

For example: The Analytics OBJECTIVE is to find “Consumers not getting 230 +/-6% Volt rather, who all

are getting Rated voltage of 230V”.

Once Abnormalities are detected then determine CAUSE.

Page 43: Metering – Revenue Protection And Loss Reduction ... · Reduction Strategies. Sharing BSES Delhi Experience. Rajesh Bansal, Sr. Vice President, Head (Network), BSES Delhi ... energy

Successful theft creates abnormalities Basic electrical/ Voltage principal

Load related abnormalities Consumption pattern

Page 47: Metering – Revenue Protection And Loss Reduction ... · Reduction Strategies. Sharing BSES Delhi Experience. Rajesh Bansal, Sr. Vice President, Head (Network), BSES Delhi ... energy

Theft Analytics – Maturity level 04Instantaneous Parameter

• Meters also log instantaneous parameters such as voltage, current, PF, power on/off etc.

• Analyze the instantaneous parameters pattern and variations to identify theft.

• Key is Logics - Relation between theft method and its impact on meter parameters.

• Once relations are established then it is easier to filter the cases.• Extensive knowledge of metering and electrical engineering is required.• Very high strike rate -- Wider acceptance by judiciary.

Today BSES has 132 LOGICS

Theft Analytics – Maturity level 05

Based on principal of Artificial Intelligence :Electricity theft is born out of human behavior, which is reflected in the consumption and electricity pattern recorded.

key question - can we use this concept for theft detection?when all we have is Just numbers??? The answer is - yes we can.

The 5th Maturity level is based on 2 basic principals:• For 2 events, having similar trend then it is expected that their outcome

will also be similar.• Utilities by now hold huge banks of meter data, consumption data,

secondary data information on successful and unsuccessful leads as identified through levels 1-4 of analytics.

Five Maturity Level of AnalyticsLevel 05

• A system born from experience and continued analysis.• A flexible system which learns from past issues, predicts the likely trends for future/unforeseen issues and

keeps learning from its experience.

Scope of Artificial Intelligence - concept can beextended

• To identify faulty meters & quality problem etc.• To identify consumers who may default• Consumers who will increase their load requirements etc.

Voltage drop in network

Key parameters

Voltage at Grid/DT end Voltage at Tail end consumer

DT & consumer location on feeder Analysis

Voltage drop represent the technical loss in network.

Higher voltage drop means network under stress

Variation of Vdrop with load change– input for Vregulation

Voltage drop is the easiest way to estimate technical loss & voltage regulations

Network Stress – comparing Tail end voltage

By controlling instantaneous voltage – MW Demand can be controlled

Typical thumb rule – 1% V effects 1.3% power consumption

PrincipalTypical consumer voltage 220

~ 230V.

The allowable tolerance –

+/- 6%Wattage consumption

depends upon voltage
