Reliability Analysis of Power Line Communication System for Smart Grid Realization

Olokun Ademola Kunmi

Abstract


This Article inspects the use of Power Line Communication (PLC) for Smart Grid (SG) realization. Smart Grid permits for a two-way communication of data, which aids in real time data collection, monitoring, examination, control, to recover overall efficacy of transmission of electricity, reduce energy consumption price, etc. Power Line Communication, a communication technology that allows the transmission of data over existing power lines is proposed for SG realization. Though, due to power lines being mainly used for transmission of electricity, it is not appropriate for data transmission as it is liable to noise, attenuation. In this article, the clipping technique is projected as a way to diminish effects of noise and attenuation in PLC. PLC delivers reliable communication and control and also is cost effective as the present power line infrastructure is used.

 

Keywords: Power line communication, smart grid, noise, attenuation, clipping, equalizer
