    Annotation Integrating technological advancements into smart grid optimize the power system. The dataset provided by smart metering devices allows to capture and transmit half-hourly electricity consumption profiles, events of poor quality of electricity, tampering attempts, consumption parameters and service events. Unfortunately, the problem of unaccounted consumption has remained relevant even with the use of smart meters. Moreover, today non-technical losses, as a consequence of intentional fraud consumption, are one of the main and very actual problems for electric power (EP) distribution companies. No doubt that electricity theft is a problem that affects the efficiency and profitability of power companies. However, the use of technologies can solve such problems. To solve this problem, this article suggests several solutions for classifying time series in order to detect anomalies in electricity consumption. The paper tried to prove the hypothesis about the applicability of artificial intelligence technologies based on neural network training for analyzing data on electricity consumption by consumers. The goal of our research was to develop our own neural network model for enhancing electricity theft. As a result of our work, it is concluded that Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on time series classification is an effective tool for finding and combating unaccounted consumption. These results highlight the potential of the proposed method for practical applications in the electricity market, as it can provide reliable and timely information for energy management. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that the work attempts to use machine learning methods to improve theft-detection accuracy.
