| Abstract: |
| Power line carrier (PLC) technology plays an increasingly important role in the realization of cost-effective communication
in a smart distribution grid. No current channel modeling method is universally applicable to more complex topologies
that may emerge in smart grids, such as ring and mesh topologies. This paper presents a novel PLC channel modeling
method based on the information node concept, and the universality and feasibility of the proposed method are
demonstrated with applications in modeling networks with ring and mesh topologies. The factors that affect the channel
characteristics of the networks and the laws that govern their behaviors for different types of topologies are analyzed. The
validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are proven using simulation and laboratory tests. This paper provides
the necessary theoretical basis and technical means to design the PLC modulation method for smart distribution grids. |
