Anti –Tamper Features In Electronic Energy Meters
Abstract
Abstract- Energy management system comprises of generation, transmission and distribution of power. Efficiency of whole
system depends on efficient functioning of each stage. To increase the efficiency of the energy management system and to
cope up with the increasing demand of electricity, the main attention of utilities is to reduce its losses. The losses comprises
of technical and non technical losses. Several innovative steps to minimize Non-Technical losses (NTL) have been taken by
the utilities. Introduction of Anti Tamper features in Energy Meters is one of the ways to bring down the incidence of theft of
energy or tampering of meters. Use of Intelligent and smart meters with various Anti tamper features makes electricity theft
more difficult and easily detectable. This paper discusses various Anti –fraud measures and tamper prevention methods
implemented in electronic Energy Meters.
