A novel PLC channel modeling method and channel characteristic analysis of a smart distribution grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Power line carrier (PLC) technology plays an increasingly important role in the realization of cost-effective communication in a smart distribution grid. No current channel modeling method is universally applicable to more complex topologies that may emerge in smart grids, such as ring and mesh topologies. This paper presents a novel PLC channel modeling method based on the information node concept, and the universality and feasibility of the proposed method are demonstrated with applications in modeling networks with ring and mesh topologies. The factors that affect the channel characteristics of the networks and the laws that govern their behaviors for different types of topologies are analyzed. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are proven using simulation and laboratory tests. This paper provides the necessary theoretical basis and technical means to design the PLC modulation method for smart distribution grids.

متن کاملMeasurement and simulation framework for throughput evaluation of narrowband power line communication links in low-voltage grids
High-data-rate narrowband Power Line Communication (PLC) is a prominent candidate for smart grid communications in the low-voltage grid at low operational costs. However, the power-line channel is fairly harsh in terms of time-variance, frequency selectivity, and observable impulsive and narrowband noise sources. These unpredictable phenomena motivate selective measurement campaigns in addition...
