Regarding NB-PLC physical layer (PHY) modeling, multiconductor transmission line (MTL) theory is used for distribution lines channel characterization, whereas a measurement-based black-box method is adopted to characterize the medium-voltage (MV) to low-voltage (LV) path through the distribution transformers (DTs). OFDM bit-loading and transmit energy optimization processing techniques are applied across the OFDM subchannels of the spatial beams to improve the achievable data rates at the network nodes. Different scenarios are conducted to systematically evaluate the achievable data rates, revealing the possibility for an extensive and reliable application of NB-PLC communications in SDGs.","PeriodicalId":282284,"journal":{"name":"Power Line Communication Systems for Smart Grids","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124638669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter can serve as a foundation stone for the beginners in this research area. It can also serve as guide for the practitioners to optimally design, deploy, and operate the multigeneration power systems. This chapter considered the optimization classification, algorithms, and tools related to multigeneration system in general. The future study may be more specific to the application of optimization related to real-world problem arising by the use of CCHP in various buildings in different time zones.

One of the key elements of the SGs to achieve this goal is a bidirectional information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, with real-time monitoring, control and self-healing capability. Among potential telecommunications technologies, power line communications (PLCs) appear as a strong candidate to integrate this ICT infrastructure by having some interesting features for applications in SGs. For example, they can exploit the existing electric grid infrastructure to reduce deployment costs, provide a low-cost alternative to complement existing technologies in the search of ubiquitous coverage and establish high data rate communication through obstacles that typically degrade wireless communications. In order to understand the role of PLCs in SGs applications, this chapter will introduce a brief overview of how power grids are structured, then some fundamental characteristics of SGs will be shown and, finally, some possible applications of PLC technologies in SGs will be presented.
