Title
Irregularity detection on low tension electric installations by neural network ensembles
Abstract
The volume of energy loss that Brazilian electric utilities have to deal with has been ever increasing. The electricity concessionaries are suffering significant and increasing loss in the last years, due to theft, measurement errors and many other kinds of irregularities. Therefore, there is a great concern from those companies to identify the profile of irregular customers, in order to reduce the volume of such losses. This paper presents the proposal of an intelligent system, composed of two neural networks ensembles, which intends to increase the level of accuracy in the identification of irregularities among low tension consumers. The data used to test the proposed system are from Light S.A. Company, the Rio de Janeiro concessionary. The results obtained presented a significant increase in the identification of irregular customers when compared to the current methodology employed by the company.
