THE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (PLC) ON SMART GRIDS AND A SAMPLE APPLICATION
Keywords:
Smart Grid, PLC, Communication techniquesAbstract
Conventional electricity networks are established on the basis of the transmission of electricity produced in power plants to the end user through transmission and distribution systems. Energy and information flow in these systems is one-way. Two-way energy and information flow has been mentioned in the concept of smart grid, which has been put forward especially after the 2000s. Smart grid; It is an efficient, reliable and self-healing power system in case of emergency. In the recent years, smart meters have been used in the establishment of smart network infrastructure. Smartmeters are capable of transmitting instantaneous measurement values to the system center, allowing the remote meter parameters to be changed-updated using any communication infrastructure. One of the technologies enabling smart meters to communicate with the system center is PLC (communication over power lines). Powerline communication technology is a method that allows the exchange of information over the existing energy network without the need for additional wiring.
