The popularity of the Power Line Communication (PLC) system has decreased due to significant deficiencies in the technology itself, even though new wire installation is not required. In particular, regarding the request for high-speed throughput to fulfill smart-grid requirements, Broadband Power Line (BPLC) can be considered. This paper approaches PLC technology as an object of simulation experimentation in the Broadband Power Line Communication (BPLC) area. Several experimental measurements in a real environment are also given. This paper demonstrates these experimental simulation results as potential mechanisms for creating a complex simulation tool for various PLC technologies focusing on communication with end devices such as sensors and meters. The aim is to demonstrate the potential and limits of BPLC technology for implementation in Smart Grids or Smart Metering applications.

Implementing smart grid demands a wide area communication network for connecting all the feeder equipments, consumers’ meters and high-consuming appliances, etc, for both utilities’ and consumers’ applications. Using power line itself as a communication medium is an ideal solution for construction of a cost-effective and high speed transmission network. A new flooding-based routing protocol has been developed. The PLC (Power Line Communication) network performances of this protocol are evaluated using theoretical analysis.
