Abstract

PLC is gaining prominence as a solution for Smart Grid developments. However, several aspects still require further research and analysis. Among the different solutions, PRIME (PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution) standard is one of the most popular and extended implementations. This paper analyses the performance impact caused by the polling strategy utilized in an auto meter reading (AMR) process for a PRIME PLC network. In particular, the number of connections that the master node is able to manage simultaneously is studied. The time required to read all the meters in the network is utilized as performance metric. In order to replicate the performance of a PRIME's network, a co-simulation framework that combines Matlab and OMNeT++ has been used. This architecture allows to take into account both physical phenomena and control and application message management. Simulated topologies represent a general European low-voltage network. Results highlight the importance of selecting an adequate number of simultaneous connections in order to optimize the use of the channel.

PRIME PLC网络中AMR同步轮询策略的性能评价

PLC作为智能电网发展的一种解决方案正日益突出。但仍有几个方面需要进一步研究和分析。在不同的解决方案中，电力线智能计量演进(PRIME)标准是最受欢迎和扩展的实现之一。本文分析了PRIME PLC网络自动抄表(AMR)过程中轮询策略对性能的影响。特别地，研究了主节点能够同时管理的连接数。读取网络中所有仪表所需的时间用作性能指标。为了复制PRIME网络的性能，使用了结合Matlab和omnet++的联合仿真框架。这种体系结构允许同时考虑物理现象和控制以及应用程序消息管理。模拟的拓扑结构代表了一个通用的欧洲低压网络。结果强调了选择足够数量的同时连接以优化通道使用的重要性。
