The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a modern technology that has been integrated into various fields, including electrical power generation and forensic science. In the energy sector, GPS is used to synchronize electrical grids and optimize power distribution, especially in renewable energy plants such as solar and wind farms. The precise timing provided by GPS ensures efficient energy flow management and prevents failures within the grid.<br /><br />From a forensic perspective, GPS plays a crucial role beyond its technical applications. It can be used to track the geographical locations of devices or individuals involved in energy-related crimes, such as electricity theft or tampering with distribution systems. Moreover, GPS time-stamped records can serve as digital evidence to prove the presence of a person or device at a specific place and time during a crime.<br /><br />Thus, the integration of GPS technology into power generation systems not only enhances operational efficiency but also provides valuable forensic tools to support justice and uncover crimes related to energy infrastructure.<br />Al-Mustaqbal University – The First University in Iraq
