Attenuation Characteristics

Signal transmission attenuation characteristics of low voltage power distribution network is an important factor must be considered by the power line communication system design. The effects of power line network on the power line communication channel attenuation are studied, including cable cross-sectional area, length and T network structure. With the experimental and simulation results, the relationship between low voltage power line cable length, the network structure and the power line communication channel attenuation is analyzed.

Advanced Metering

This paper primarily deals with the design of an Information and Control Technology (ICT) network for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) on the IEEE 34 node radial distribution network. The application is comprised of 330 smart meters deployed in the low voltage system and 33 data concentrators in the medium voltage system. A power line carrier (PLC) communication system design is developed and simulated in Network Simulator 3 (NS-3). The simulation result is validated by comparing the communication network performance with the minimum performance requirements for AMI. The network delay of a single data frame is calculated and compared with the simulation delay. The design methodology proposed in this article may be used for other smart grid applications. The secondary goal is to provide AMI network traffic based on the IEC Std. 61968 and a discussion on whether or not AMI could possibly be a source of big data on the future power grid.
