Smart Grid is an iteration of power grid that merges Information Technology (IT) with Operational Technology (OT). It is more efficient, reliable and economical as compared to the conventional power grid. It also supports renewable energy and enhances power generation, transmission and distribution. Due to extensive use of communication and computer networks, there are inborn challenges of Cyber Security in Smart Grid. For an efficient energy management, a continuous exchange of data between various subsystems and control centre in a secured manner is required. This massive data exchange is vulnerable to cyber-attacks which can compromise the integrity of the system. There is an evolution in cyber-crime which includes state sponsored cyber terrorism, Stuxnet attack on Iranian nuclear Plant, Black Energy 3 attack in Ukraine and cyber-attack on Kudankulam Nuclear power plant in India, Night Dragon originated from China. There are incidences of energy theft at consumer level all around the globe which incurs Non-Technical Loss (NTL). Smart meters can be hacked and data can be manipulated easily. Therefore, there is a need for a holistic approach for detecting, neutralizing thwarting the cyber-attacks. This paper explores various types of theft and its detection using NTL.
