Power line communication (PLC), which is often used in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), may be disturbed by adjacent high-power converters. Due to the inherent features of this type of communication, classic methods of improving communication reliability (filtration and circuit separation) cannot be fully applied. Information coding (modulation) methods are used in PLC to increase the data transfer rate and improve noise immunity. Random modulations (RanM) are used in converters to lower emission levels. Therefore, we investigate how the converters’ modulation parameters and coding methods may affect PLC communication reliability in the paper. To this end, we employ an experimental approach. In particular, the analysis of the influence of deterministic modulation (DetM) and (RanM) on the performance of narrowband G3-PLC is shown. We emulated an actual situation where EMI generated by the DC/DC converter disturbed the PLC transmission. The experimental results show the transmission error rates for different operating scenarios. The natural (experimental) system results, due to the complexity of the disturbing signals, differ from the literature data obtained by simulation for normalized signals.

Distributed Measurement

Structural Health Monitoring of distributed systems is closely connected with data transmission from measurement points to the main server, where measurement data is processed and subjected to expert assessment. Power Line Communication (PLC) technology allows data transmission through existing power network. The greatest advantage of the PLC technology is the possibility of using ubiquitous, electric infrastructure, wherever there is no access to dedicated wired transmission links. However, it should be stressed that the main application of power lines is transmission of electricity while data transmission is a secondary issue. In monitoring systems and distributed measurement systems it is of vital importance that information from measurement points reaches the receiver in the unchanged form. Hash functions rise possibility of proper recognition if transmitted data is an exact mapping of information sent from measurement point. The paper concerns the method of polynomial hash function implementation for PLC systems in the LabVIEW environment.

In this paper, a method to design coupling and filtering device for low-voltage power line communication system is presented. The data transfer mode of power line communication and the signal’s working attenuation of low-voltage power line are analyzed. As for low-voltage power line, the input impendance is stable in the frequency band over 1MHz. So the working band of the coupling device is 4MHz-21MHz. Based on capacitive coupling, we use coupling capacitance as the main element and design a coupling circuit. Filters are needed when the coupling device is receiving a signal. Based on Chebyshev filter, we design a band-pass filter and make a simulation.

Advanced Metering

AMIs (Advanced Metering Infrastructures) present an important role in Smart City environments, especially from the point of view of distribution and customers, offering control and monitoring capabilities. The use of PLC (Power Line Communication) technology offers a wide range of advantages in AMI, including not needing to deploy an additional communication infrastructure. However, the electrical network was not initially designed for communications, as these networks pose problems depending on the connected loads, such as network impedance variation, frequency selectivity or noise. For this reason, the use of simulators is proposed to facilitate the deployments based on PLC networks, and analysis and diagnosis tools for the identification of problems in operating networks are also required. This paper presents a toolkit for evaluating and analyzing the performance of PLC networks. This toolkit is composed of SimPRIME, a simulator for the evaluation of NB-PLC PRIME (PoweR line Intelligent Metering Evolution) networks’ performance; SimBPL, a simulator for the evaluation of MV-BPL (Broadband Power Line over Medium Voltage) cells’ performance; and PRIME Analytics, a forensics tool that allows diagnosis of communication problems in PRIME operational networks based on traffic traces. The toolkit has been developed throughout several research projects in close collaboration with DSOs (Distribution System Operators) and equipment manufacturers, so they provide solutions to actual problems of these industry key players and have been adapted to facilitate their use. As a result, the tools are accessible through web applications to increase their usability, portability, and scalability. These applications represent the first steps in offering PLC simulation and analysis as a service that could benefit the research community, academia, and industry.

Novel Method

Smart Metering in the power grid is the present popular technology in and around the world.  Future Generation is requiring new method for data transfer. This paper introduces a novel method called Power Line Communication (PLC) transceivers. PLC has many number of smart grid applications. This work proposes  mainly about the transmission of data’s through Power Line.   This work includes both electrical and electronic concept. Here, transmission process takes place through electrical line by using electronic equipment. This paperaddresses the important role of  transferring data’s from one place to other. In this concept, dc loads are controlled by giving commands through power line. This work does not require additional medium for transmitting data’s. This paper reduces the human efforts and systematic transmission takes place.  In this work, data transmission through power line communication takes place by passing constant 5v. Hence fluctuations are avoided in PLC transceivers, this protects the electronic device and dc load from damage.  Here the dc loads are operated by giving ON and OFF commands.  These commands can be coded in binary form or it can also be variables.  Voltage sensors are used for sensing the current at the receiver (dc loads).  The current which is sensed by the sensors are stored by using batteries. These currents can be retrieved for future use. This paperprovides advancement in data transmission process for future generation.
