Abstract

Narrowband powerline communication (NB-PLC) systems represent a key step for the real development of smart grids’ applications in the medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) networks. This article sums up the results of a complete experimental measurement campaign aimed at investigating the low voltage NB-PLC channel in the frequency range from 9 to 500 kHz in various sites (i.e., rural, urban etc.) located in France. The noise features in time-frequency representation are studied at five different sites between the transformer substation and the smart electricity meter. The main contribution of this study consists in estimating the theoretical channel capacity which constitutes a major interest for the users and actors of the electrical system. The channel capacity calculation shows reliable results in the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) band (a few Mbits/s). The quality of the communication in the FCC band enables to integrate new smart grids’ applications and services based on the existing NB-PLC communication for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

法国电力线通信窄带噪声和信道容量的特性

窄带电力线通信(NB-PLC)系统是智能电网在中压和低压网络中应用真正发展的关键一步。本文总结了一个完整的实验测量活动的结果，旨在调查低频NB-PLC通道在频率范围从9到500千赫在不同的地点(即，农村，城市等)位于法国。研究了变电站与智能电能表之间5个不同位置的时频噪声特征。本研究的主要贡献在于估计理论信道容量，这构成了电力系统用户和参与者的主要兴趣。信道容量计算在美国联邦通信委员会(FCC)频段(几mbit /s)得到了可靠的结果。FCC频段的通信质量使得基于现有的先进计量基础设施(AMI)的NB-PLC通信集成新的智能电网应用和服务成为可能。
