Abstract

This invention proposes a method for detecting electricity theft based on an improved multi-agent artificial immune network (AIN). It employs an AIN-based algorithm to map the electricity theft detection task into an antigen-antibody identification problem. The algorithm targets the data characteristics of electricity theft, using the electricity consumption curve of the user to be tested as the antigen and known user templates as the antibody. It integrates electricity consumption time-series features through a neighborhood cloning selection mechanism to capture non-rigid time-series distortions caused by electricity theft; embeds an imbalanced learning strategy in the antibody collaboration mechanism to alleviate model bias caused by the sparsity of negative samples; and combines competitive operations with power physics constraints to ensure that the generated memory cells conform to the physical laws of the power grid. This invention effectively solves the problems of time-series mismatch, amplified sample bias, and physical infeasibility in existing technologies by reconstructing the algorithm for the three core aspects of electricity theft scenarios.
