The Use of Data Transmission Technique Via Power Line Communication

Öz

The smart grid requires the use of communication methods. One of these communication methods is power line communication (PLC). In this study, TMDSPLCKITV4 evaluation boards are programmed with the G3-PLC standard and operated as transmitter and receiver in low voltage distribution grid. Then, the distances between the transceiver points, the load characteristics were changed and the received signal strength indication, signal noise ratio, bit error rate and package error rate values for each modulation type of the G3-PLC standard were measured in real time. According to these measured values, the success of the PLC has been demonstrated. In general, it is observed that the number of erroneous data bits increases in each modulation type under pulsed variable load. Robust mod and binary phase shift keying modulation types appear to be the most successful modulation types with the least number of erroneous data bits when all experimental conditions are considered.
