            Abstract : 
This paper proposes a non-cooperative game (NCG) model for non-technical loss (NTL) screening in micro-distribution systems. This model can compound an infra-structure with smart electric meters and fractional-order self-synchronization error formulation to distinguish illegal activities between profiled usages and non-technical usages. Then a NCG-based decision-making model is used to locate the abnormalities. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
