Today, to use home automation, intelligent home controls or remote controls in the office, electronic equipment is moving away from wireless communication in favor of Power Line Communication (PLC). In the standard PLC solutions, the corrections that result from error transmissions are based on complex digital modulation methods and algorithms for validating the transmitted data without paying attention to the causes of the errors. This article focuses on the implementation of a filtering system for interference and signals in the 120–150 kHz band (CENELEC band C), which is injected into the network by transmitters. Such a filter separates the desired signal from the interference that is occurring in the network, which can result in communication errors. Moreover, when used properly, the filter can be used as a subsystem separation element. The paper presents the requirements, design, construction, simulation and test results that were obtained under actual operating conditions. It is possible to use less complex methods for correcting errors in transmission signals and to guarantee an improvement in the transmission rate using the proposed filter system.

Advanced Metering

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.

Comprehensive Study

Power line communication (PLC) has received much attention recently because of the need of reliable and automatic metering, In this paper we present a comprehensive study over the use of PLC in China. We begin with some background including the distribution grid topology, the power line channel environments, and the deployment of PLC network. Then we show some field test results of PLC-based meter-reading in a high frequency band. In addition, a suggestion how to improve G3-PLC is presented which can adapt China grid better.

Cable Communication

Medium voltage broadband power line communication is the key component of distribution automation communication. In this paper, medium voltage broadband buried cable communication system was studied. The buried cable communication channel model was established; Reference to the IEEE P1901 standard requirements, the broadband power line communication system based on OFDM was simulated; the transmission rate was tested with the experimental system. The simulation results and actual tests show that the broadband buried cable communication system has good performance and high transmission rate which can meet the requirements of distribution network automation.
