Abstract
The impedance of power line channels is related to various factors such as frequency, time, connection location, load type, and power grid structure. The impedance mismatch will reduce the coupling efficiency and transmission efficiency of signals, and seriously affect the quality of power line communication. Therefore, accurate measurement of power line channel impedance and analysis of impedance characteristics are of great significance for improving the reliability of power line communication. In this paper, an improved ratio method considering the noise interference is proposed. In the method, the original generation method of sweep frequency signals is changed to one-time multi frequency and variable amplitude injection signals. Based on real-time signal processing technology, the voltage information at all tested frequency points is measured at once, including amplitude and phase. Through digital signal processing technology, the influence of noise is weakened, and the impedance amplitude and phase of all tested frequency points are accurately calculated. By the method, the requirements of the measurement circuit are simplified and the frequency range of impedance measurement is expanded to 100 kHz to 12 MHz. Finally, the impedance characteristics on the concentrator side and the user meter side are measured, laying the foundation for impedance matching design and improving power line communication quality.
期刊介绍:
IET Renewable Power Generation (RPG) brings together the topics of renewable energy technology, power generation and systems integration, with techno-economic issues. All renewable energy generation technologies are within the scope of the journal.
Specific technology areas covered by the journal include:
Wind power technology and systems
Photovoltaics
Solar thermal power generation
Geothermal energy
Fuel cells
Wave power
Marine current energy
Biomass conversion and power generation
What differentiates RPG from technology specific journals is a concern with power generation and how the characteristics of the different renewable sources affect electrical power conversion, including power electronic design, integration in to power systems, and techno-economic issues. Other technologies that have a direct role in sustainable power generation such as fuel cells and energy storage are also covered, as are system control approaches such as demand side management, which facilitate the integration of renewable sources into power systems, both large and small.
The journal provides a forum for the presentation of new research, development and applications of renewable power generation. Demonstrations and experimentally based research are particularly valued, and modelling studies should as far as possible be validated so as to give confidence that the models are representative of real-world behavior. Research that explores issues where the characteristics of the renewable energy source and their control impact on the power conversion is welcome. Papers covering the wider areas of power system control and operation, including scheduling and protection that are central to the challenge of renewable power integration are particularly encouraged.
The journal is technology focused covering design, demonstration, modelling and analysis, but papers covering techno-economic issues are also of interest. Papers presenting new modelling and theory are welcome but this must be relevant to real power systems and power generation. Most papers are expected to include significant novelty of approach or application that has general applicability, and where appropriate include experimental results. Critical reviews of relevant topics are also invited and these would be expected to be comprehensive and fully referenced.
