Estudo das técnicas usadas para a detenção de perdas não técnicas (fraudes) no consumo da energia eléctrica

Abstract

Commercial Losses, have been a priority for electric distribution companies and regulatory bodies. This is due to their growth in recent years and their impact on the Mozambican electrical system. The forms of fraud are highly diverse, posing significant challenges for distribution companies. The implementation of intelligent monitoring systems, the use of machine learning algorithms, and statistical analysis are among the strategies employed to identify suspicious patterns in energy consumption. Additionally, cooperation among energy companies, regulators, and consumers plays a crucial role in the effective prevention and detection of fraud. Reducing commercial losses is essential for the economic sustainability of energy companies, ensuring an efficient and fair distribution of electricity to consumers. This work discusses practices for mitigating these losses and proposes improvements in the process of combating and preventing non-technical losses.
