Abstract

In this paper, the performance of actual Narrowband power line communications (NB-PLC) systems used in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is assessed. The study combines bit-rates estimations obtained from channel measurements with actual frame error rates obtained in a field trial. Performance achieved in rural, semiurban and urban environments is analyzed, along with the influence of the type of cables deployed in the underlying low voltage (LV) network. The structure of an AMI is strongly dependent on the number of customers connected to the medium voltage to low voltage (MV/LV) transformers. This number is so low in some regions of North and South America, that placing the data concentrator at the medium voltage (MV) side of the network is the most cost-effective solution. The feasibility of this solution in both the CENELEC-A and the FCC bands is investigated.
先进计量基础设施中基于ofdm的窄带PLC性能评估
本文对实际应用于高级计量基础设施(AMI)的窄带电力线通信(NB-PLC)系统的性能进行了评估。该研究将信道测量获得的比特率估计与现场试验获得的实际帧误码率相结合。分析了在农村、半城市和城市环境中取得的性能,以及在底层低压(LV)网络中部署的电缆类型的影响。AMI的结构强烈依赖于连接到中压到低压(MV/LV)变压器的客户数量。在北美和南美的一些地区,这个数字非常低,因此将数据集中器放置在网络的中压侧是最具成本效益的解决方案。研究了该方案在cenelea和FCC频段的可行性。
