Dynamic Generative Residual Graph Convolutional Neural Networks For Electricity Theft Detection
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.
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.
