Dynamic Generative Residual Graph Convolutional Neural Networks

for Electricity Theft Detection


Driven by economic incentives, illegal electricity consumers pose significant threats to the
economic and security aspects of the power system by illicitly accessing or manipulating
electrical resources. With the widespread adoption of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI),
researchers have turned to leveraging smart meter data for electricity theft detection. However,
existing models rely on methods that model a single electricity load curve and cannot capture the
temporal dependencies, periodicity, and underlying features between electricity consumption
cycles. This paper proposes a dynamic generation algorithm to address these issues to construct a
topological structure between periodic nodes, updated during training. Subsequently, residual
graph convolution operations extract temporal and spatial dependencies among nodes.
Additionally, to address the issue of model instability caused by scarce theft data, we employ the
SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique) oversampling technique and enhance
overall classification performance by modifying class weights in the loss function. We trained
this network architecture on the real SGCC (State Grid Corporation of China) dataset, and the
results demonstrate its superiority over other mainstream existing models.

Existing System:

The existing systems for electricity theft detection generally rely on rule-based approaches or
conventional machine learning models that analyze historical data, such as usage patterns, sensor
readings, and billing information. These systems detect anomalies by identifying deviations from
expected consumption, but they often face challenges in adapting to the dynamic and complex
nature of electricity theft. Traditional methods typically require manual configuration and do not
account for complex, nonlinear relationships between various factors that contribute to theft,
such as power fluctuations or irregularities in network behavior. As a result, many existing
systems struggle with high false positive rates, delayed detection, and limited scalability across
diverse electrical grids.

Disadvantages of Existing System:

1. High False Positives: Traditional methods often flag legitimate usage patterns as
anomalies, leading to false alarms and unnecessary investigations.
2. Limited Scalability: These systems may not scale efficiently to handle large, complex
electrical grids with vast amounts of real-time data.
3. Inability to Adapt: Existing systems cannot dynamically learn and adapt to new,
evolving methods of electricity theft, reducing their long-term effectiveness.

Proposed System:

The proposed system, Dynamic Generative Residual Graph Convolutional Neural Networks
(DGR-GCN), offers a more advanced solution for electricity theft detection by leveraging graph
convolutional networks (GCNs) combined with dynamic and generative models. This system can
analyze the electrical grid as a graph, where nodes represent consumers and edges represent
power distribution lines. The DGR-GCN model dynamically learns from both historical and real-
time data, accounting for the complex interdependencies between different grid components. By
incorporating generative residual learning, the model can generate more accurate predictions and
effectively capture subtle patterns in electricity consumption, detecting anomalies that traditional
methods might miss. This approach enables adaptive learning from new data, making it more
robust and accurate in identifying electricity theft over time.

Advantages of Proposed System:

1. Reduced False Positives: The DGR-GCN model is better at distinguishing between


legitimate usage and actual theft, leading to fewer false alarms and more precise
detection.
2. Scalability: The system is designed to efficiently handle large-scale electrical grids,
processing vast amounts of real-time data to detect theft in different regions
simultaneously.
3. Adaptive Learning: The model continuously learns from evolving data, allowing it to
adapt to new methods of electricity theft and improving its accuracy over time.
4. Improved Detection Accuracy: By using a graph-based approach and generative
residual learning, the system can identify complex patterns of electricity theft that
traditional methods are unable to capture, improving the overall detection accuracy.
