Bidgely Energy Theft Solution

Based on industry-leading non-intrusive load monitoring technology and advanced data analytics, Bidgely’s Energy Theft Solution breaks down a customer’s energy consumption down to the appliance level. Insights generated from this data are used to identify usage patterns over time and detect anomalies associated with likely theft trends. Bidgely’s solution addresses three specific energy theft use cases:

• Abuse of tariffs – When a customer’s electricity usage type is mischaracterized and falsely low rates applied, Bidgely accurately distinguishes between residential and commercial behavior and transitions between the two.
• meter tampering – Bidgely leverages energy consumption patterns, technical parameters, and available smart meter events to identify facilities where the meters themselves have been tampered with.
• direct theft – If the meter is partially or fully crossed to prevent consumption from being registered, Bidgely will identify which appliances are running and when to determine if the behavior is anomalous.
