In this paper, a broadband power line communication modem and network technology to develop tests with actual characteristics of the underground power line communication channel to be interpreted. Length and structure of the underground distribution line due to underground distribution line to the broadband powerline communication channels to measure the amount of attenuation on the signal generator, spectrum analyzer, such as contactless coupler was used to configure the channel measurement system. Demonstration tests in the test line as a single line by selecting the longest high-voltage lines where the two-channel measurement and signal attenuation on the noise level was measured. Measuring results degrade communication performance can be quite sure that was the presence of impulse noise, long lines, the line length was confirmed by the high-frequency attenuation appears.

The Energy Management System (EMS) communicates with power plants and substations, monitors the substations and plant operational status of the transmission and substation system for stability, continuity, real-time, and economy of power supply, and controls power plants and substations. Currently, the power exchange EMS communicates with power plants and substations based on the serial communication-based Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) 3.0 protocol. However, problems such as the difficulty of supply and demand of serial communication equipment and the lack of installation space for serial ports and modems are raised due to the continuous increase in new facilities to perform communication, including renewable power generation facilities. Therefore, this paper presents a TCP/IP-based communication method instead of the existing serial communication method of the power exchange EMS, and presents a security risk analysis that may occur due to changes in the communication method and a countermeasure to the security risk.

In the maritime communication, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication terminal should be operated with low power consumption, because the communication should be accomplished in the circumstance of disaster. Therefore, Low power FFT processor is required to be designed with current mode signal processing technique than digital signal processing. Current- to-Voltage Converter (IVC) is a device that converts the output current signal of FFT processor into the voltage signal. In order to lessen the power consumption of OFDM terminal, IVC should be designed with low power design technique and IVC should have wide linear region for avoiding distortion of signal voltage. To design of one-chip of the FFT LSI and IVC, IVC should have a small chip size. In this paper, we proposed the new IVC with wide linear region. We confirmed that the proposed IVC operates linearly within 0.85V to 1.4V as a function of current-mode FFT output range of -100~100[uA]. Designed IVC will contribute to realization of low-power maritime data communication using OFDM system.

Recently, the deep learning technology has gained lots of attention which leads to its application to various fields. Especially, there are recent attempts to overcome the limit of wireless communications systems through the use of the deep learning. In this paper, we have verified the performance of deep learning based transmit power control scheme. Unlike previous transmit power control schemes where the optimal transmit power is derived by solving the optimization problem explicitly, in the deep learning based transmit power control, the general solver for the optimization problem is derived through the deep neural network (DNN). Especially, by using the spectral efficiency as the loss function of DNN, the training can be performed without needing labels. Through simulation based on Tensorflow, we confirm that the transmit power control based on deep learning can achieve the optimal performance while reducing the computational complexity by 1/200.

The revision of radio waves act, which took effect on July 1,2005, widened the bandwidth of PLC from $9kHz{\sim}450kHz$ to $9kHz{\sim}30MHz$. This high upper limit of frequency may cause the interference in HF wireless communications. From this point of view, the goal of this research is to suggest the estimation method of whether-or-not the interference occurs and furthermore offer countermeasures to avoid it hereafter. Ministry of Information and Communication Radio Research Laboratory(MIC-RRL)has been researching for the interference and devoting themselves to turn out how much it affects to HF wireless communications since the revision took effect. This research suggests some estimation methods with receivers, signal generators, or SINAD(Signal to Noise and Distortion) Meter which is so suitable for the RF environment that we can overcome the existing limit to the EMC environment. In addition, this research is focused on securing the environment for wireless communications by establishing the safety zone or suggesting the ways to prohibit the use of the bandwidth, which may cause serious interference, in order to minimize the effect of PLC on HF maritime mobile telecommunications.

Powerline communications (PLC) is a promising medium for network access technology where smart grid aided network services can be provided. In the presence of frequency selective fading in the PLC channel, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique for reliable communications. This paper presents a spectral efficient method using a superimposed hidden pilot for OFDM-based PLC systems. Based on the scheme using a hidden pilot, it is possible to estimate the channel with no consumption of bandwidth, but with utilization of power allocated to the hidden pilot. Computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme provides higher achievable data rate than that of the conventional schemes in low voltage and medium voltage transmission lines.

In this paper, the radiative electric field intensity due to the communication signal and conductive noise is calculated in overhead medium voltage power lines for power line communication. The input impedance is calculated by means of 2 port equivalent model of medium voltage power line network and basic transmission line theory. And then, currents is calculated by calculated input impedance and finally, the emissive electric field is calculated. The input impedance appears like a standing wave form with a fixed cycle because high reflection at the input terminal due to the characteristic impedance of medium voltage power line is very large. A calculated current and radiative electric field also appears like this form. From the measurement results, the measured results are very similar to the calculated results.

전력 시장의 자율 경쟁체제가 본격화되면서 기존 공급자 중심의 시장은 급격하게 사용자 중심의 시장으로 재편되어 가고 있다. 기존의 최소한의 '데이터'라는 개념은 최대한의 '정보'라는 개념으로 변화되었다. 정보의 신속하고 효율적인 관리는 변전소 자동화 시스템의 핵심 전략이자 이를 기반으로 한 전력 시스템의 IT화를 가속화시키는 원동력이 되었다. 외국의 경우 1990년대 초에 등장한 UCA2(Utility Communication Architecture)를 기반으로 한 IEC 61850(Communication Networks and systems in substation)이라는 새로운 통신 아키텍처의 도입을 서두르고 있다. IEC 61850은 IEC에서 추진중인 표준화작업의 일환으로 기존의 포인트와 태그(address) 중심의 전력 SCADA 시스템과는 달리 디바이스 및 관련 정보를 데이터 클래스 모델링을 통해 객체화하고 이 표준 객체를 통해 공통의 언어로 통신을 하는 방식으로 wire 중심이 아닌 bus 중심의 통신 방식(Ethernet)을 채용하여 대용량 정보의 실시간 전송 및 이기종간 통신이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 IEC 61850을 중심으로 변전소 자동화 시스템 및 전력 시스템의 IT화와 관련된 표준 통신 프로토콜들을 소개하고 전력시스템과 변전소 환경이라는 특수 상황을 고려하여 새롭게 등장한 아키텍처의 특징을 살펴본다.

In recent years, type of the car is changing. Instead of cars that use internal combustion engines, we will use mainly eco-friendly electric vehicles. However, the utilization of electric vehicles brings enormous increase of power consumption. Thus, efficient power management and intelligent power consumption is required. Demand response can be effective measures of power consumption. In this paper, we present demand response technology applications, communication method, PLC application and simulation result.
