Muscat: An Omani researcher has come up with a method to detect theft of electricity from the power grid for questionable purposes.

Faisal Al Yahmadi, a technician at the Royal Court Affairs, has come up with a smart grid network (SGN) which digitises the power distribution grid and achieves smart, efficient, safe and secure operations of electricity. The backbone of the SGN is information communication technology that enables the SGN to get full control of network station monitoring and analysis.
