Peak load management and reduction of Peak to Average Ratio (PAR) and associated methods are under focus of researchers since decades. Smart Homes (SHs), Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) and effect of home appli- ances scheduling in smart grid are now familiar research topics in electrical engineering. ![]() It will dynamically connect all the stake holders of smart grid through enhanced energy efficiency awareness corridor. Smart grid is envisioned to meet the 21st century energy requirements in a sophisticated manner with real time approach by integrating the latest digital communications and advanced control technologies to the existing power grid. This paper analyses the huge merits of SG technology and how it would assist in curbing the scourge of electricity theft in South Africa. Also, with the SG advantage of the incorporation of renewable energy generation into the conventional electrical power grid, the current tentative outage of electricity brought about by load shedding in the country would be nipped in the bud. Deployment of Smart Grid (SG) would drastically reduce electricity theft as a result of improved flexibility, security and reliability brought about by the system. ![]() As a result of electricity theft, Eskom, the national electricity utility provider and the municipalities run into geometric losses amounting to at least R20 billion annually. However, this reliability could be jeopardized by the incessant electricity theft that is ravaging the country. South Africa is one of the countries in Africa that could largely boast of a reliable electricity supply. Electricity theft is a menace in Africa and the world at large. ![]()
