Title: Method and system for detecting anomalies in energy consumption
Inventor: JANE CHANG
IPC: G06Q50/06
Filed: 2017-04-28
Abstract: A method of detecting conditions indicative of energy meter tampering, meter faults or energy loss (e.g. due to energy theft) is disclosed. Data is received from the meter indicating consumption of energy at a location served by the energy meter. Event data is also received comprising one or more events generated by the energy meter. The consumption data is analyzed to detect a predetermined consumption condition. The event data is analyzed to detect a predetermined event or event pattern in the event data. An alert condition is generated in response to detecting both the consumption condition and the event or event pattern, especially if there is a temporal link between them. For example, detecting opening of the housing, software modification, establishing a data connection, in conjunction with, for example, a reduction in energy usage may be indicative of a need to alert the provider. The system may be adapted for use in electricity, gas or water metering. Another invention relates to determining if a meter needs a physical examination by receiving similar data from multiple meters, segmenting the data into subsets based on predetermine parameter and performing a statistical analysis to identify abnormal data.
