Improving Knowledge-Based Systems with statistical techniques, text mining, and neural networks for non-technical loss detection

Currently, power distribution companies have several problems that are related to energy losses. For example, the energy used might not be billed due to illegal manipulation or a breakdown in the customer’s measurement equipment. These types of losses are called non-technical losses (NTLs), and thes...
