Abstract

Advanced Distribution Automation (ADA) is one of the key applications of the Smart Grid (SG). Since Narrow-band Power Line Communications (NB-PLC) can offer a cost-effective communication infrastructure supporting data acquisition and automation, it has appeared to be one of the most promising technologies to enable ADA. However, the applicability of NB-PLC needs to be investigated carefully since this technology still exhibits some limitations related to throughput, signal attenuation/distortion and reliability in ADA scenarios. This paper attempts to give a reasonable data rate estimation by considering realistic ADA infrastructures/applications and IEC 61850 as the primary data modeling and communications standard for ADA. Effects of channel contention at Medium Access Control (MAC) layer on the achievable throughput of existing NB-PLC technologies are investigated. The data rate estimation and throughput analysis are then used to evaluate the feasibility of NB-PLC in supporting ADA applications.

先进配电自动化场景下窄带电力线通信吞吐量及可行性分析

高级配电自动化(ADA)是智能电网的关键应用之一。由于窄带电力线通信(NB-PLC)可以提供具有成本效益的通信基础设施，支持数据采集和自动化，因此它似乎是实现ADA的最有前途的技术之一。然而，NB-PLC的适用性需要仔细研究，因为该技术在ADA场景中仍然表现出一些与吞吐量、信号衰减/失真和可靠性相关的限制。本文试图通过考虑实际的ADA基础设施/应用和IEC 61850作为ADA的主要数据建模和通信标准，给出一个合理的数据速率估计。研究了介质访问控制(MAC)层信道争用对现有NB-PLC技术可实现吞吐量的影响。数据速率估计和吞吐量分析随后用于评估NB-PLC支持ADA应用的可行性。
