System and method for detecting theft of electricity with integrity checks analysis

A method of detecting electricity theft in a power distribution system using an integrity checks analysis, the method comprising:

• collecting electrical data from metering devices that measure a flow of electricity therethrough at a controller of the power distribution system;
• analyzing the electrical data with the controller to determine a presence of any electricity theft indicators at any metering devices;
• based on the analysis of the electrical data, determining a status of each metering device with the controller, the status at each metering device indicating a probability of electricity theft;
• and
• outputting the status at each metering device from the controller to a graphical user interface (GUI) for display.

A power system that detects electricity theft using an integrity checks analysis, the power system comprising:

• a plurality of meters measuring a flow of electricity therethrough;
• a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to display at least a portion of electricity flow measurements of the plurality of meters;
• and
• a control system for performing an integrity checks analysis of a power distribution system, the control system configured to:
• receive the electricity flow measurements of the plurality of meters:
• assess the electricity flow measurements against a plurality of electricity theft indicators;
• determine a probability of electricity theft at each of the plurality of meters based on any electricity theft indicators associated therewith;
• assign a color-coded status to each of the plurality of meters based on the probability of electricity theft associated therewith;
• and
• output the color-coded status at each meter to the GUI for display.
