The estimation of electrical energy consumption in abnormal automatic meter reading system using multiple linear regression

Abstract

This paper presents the application of multiple linear regression (MLR) to estimate the electrical energy consumption in case of the irregularity in the automatic meter reading (AMR) system. This event occurs in a delivery metering system such as problems from setting and connecting meter with the wrong electrical system, broken metering accessories, etc. The estimation is performed by using MATLAB. Estimated results show that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the lost electrical energy estimation is less than 3.65%. © 2013 IEEE.
