| dc.description.abstract | The recent rapid rate of load growth has made the electrical crisis a severe issue. Every year,
roughly 125,000 new users join the grid, which presents a load control difficulty for the company.
Due to the difficulty of monitoring meters, many consumers turn to power theft. The technical
creation of a Lora-based system for utility meters is accomplished in the project document. The
suggested remedy aims to create a prototype device that can recognize several prepaid meter
tampering scenarios, such as magnetic, opening, and displacement, and report them to a centralized
system using Lora technology. It is utilizing a 433 MHz E32-433T30D matched Lora pair with a
maximum communication distance of up to 8km. The real-time tamper detection and reporting
system is intended for use in Yaka prepaid residential meter cases, as UMEME, the energy service
provider, has dubbed them. The information is gathered into a web application database that has
been created, and the graphic user interface shows the site and technique of meter manipulation.
Additionally, power to the consumer is immediately turned off when a tamper is discovered. | en_US |
