This paper describes the measurement and analysis of the basic line constants in PLC(Power Line Communication) in the residential building. An apartment is considered as one of the conventional residences to get the line constants in this paper and Agilent 4263B LCR Meter is used to measure the detailed values each area and the specific results and the averaged analysis data are shown in the tables. The measured results no different from the calculated values with using conventional formula due to the line arrangement neglected factors, complex permittivity, and etc. Also, this paper describes many kinds of lines and wiring figures of domestic construction. Finally, it is utilized with the analyzed line characteristics in frequency domain as a planning reference of PLC.

In this paper, geographic information system(GIS) for an intelligent power distribution network was implemented with location informations acquired from automatic meter reading system, where the location informations of power line communication(PLC) modems installed at customer side were collected at data concentration units(DCUs) of headend equipment via PLC and then were transmitted to front end processor server. By displaying the connection status of the power distribution network on GIS map, operation of advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) or management of power grid system could be performed intuitionally and in real time, because the configuration state of the power grid could be easily monitored. The feasibility of the proposed system was confirmed with the especially constructed laboratory-level test bed and the verification test of the system will be carried out for a real power distribution network.

In this study, through the accumulated technologies such as real-time monitoring of power consumption using power line communication (PLC) method, power control, and automatic blocking of standby power, to commercialize them, we developed the hardware design, algorithm, protocol and module along with data transmission using PLC. We conducted the study to develop advanced products. We also proposed cloud-based smart outlet products with a novel type of outlet. These products can measure the internal power consumption through the H/W modules and the modules that control the power of household appliances connected to the smart outlets and smart plugs. Subsequently, they transmit the measurements to the energy saving system server via a communication module. This system can control the terminal device connected to the Gateway (G/W) server through a mobile phone. This will allow the customer to check the power consumption of the building at any given time, to turn the terminal on/off, and to maximize the energy efficiency during the construction of new apartments or multi-family housing in an area.

In this paper, we used class D amplification circuit to improve the decline of error rate caused by low impedance in the Power Line Communication. We manufactured voltage drive circuit and current drive circuit that are driven circuit of power line modem on the present and made a comparison experiment with drivel circuit that uses class D amplifier proposed in this paper. As a result of Experiment, We showed that it has great superiority over other existing drive circuits at rapid impedance change in power line channel.

This paper describes the model of the distribution grid for the broadband power line communication based on lumped-element circuits. In addition, this paper discusses various configurations of the MV distribution network in PLC. The distribution grid is not designed for communication so that it involves unfriendly conditions for PLC. The characterization of the MV distribution grid for PLC should be determined such as noise, attenuation, and mismatched impedance. For theses reasons, the PLC networks is described in using the scattering parameters. Finally, the n-port network is explained.

전력선 이용 통신(PLC : Power Line Communication)는 전화선, CATV망, 위성에 이어 제4의 통신망 산업으로 급부상하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 젤라인 및 피엘콤의 PLC를 중심으로 기술특성 및 인터넷 접속가격 비교을 통해 PLC 와 다른 대체상품과의 경쟁력을 분석하였다. PLC는 기술적인 측면에서 제한된 전송전력, 높은 부하 간섭, 가변감쇄, 그리고 임피던스 레벨등의 단점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 PLC는 다른 대체상품에 비해 속도 및 가격측면에서 절대 및 비교우위를 가지고 있다. 따라서 기술적인 문제점들을 해결하여 상용화에 성공할 경우 기존의 인터넷접속 서비스 상품과 경쟁하는 제3의 유선통신망으로 등장하면서 기존 통신서비스 시장의 구도를 크게 바꾸어 놓을 것으로 전망된다.

Due to enhanced high IT (information technology) development, IT-based technology convergences such as IT/ET(electric technology), IT/BT(biology technology) and IT/NT(nano technology) are actively merging trend and their applications spread wide. In this paper PLC (power line communication), one of the merging IT, is investigated as one of the potential IT candidates for IT/ET and IT/BT convergence technology for DLC (direct load control) or bio-medical engineering such as ubiquitous health cares or D2H2 (distributed diagnosis and home health care).

배전 계통을 대상으로 하는 통신 시스템에 전력통신(PLC : Power Line Communication)기술을 적용하고자 할 때, 고압 배전선의 통신 채널로서의 특성 분석이 근간이 되어야 한다. 일반적으로 지하 공동구의 배전 지중 케이블에는 케이블-케이블 간의 전기적, 물리적 접촉점인 접속 개소가 일정한 간격으로 존재하게 된다. 그러므로 통신 신호의 매개체가 되는 전력 케이블의 채널 특성 분석에는 케이블 접속 개소의 영향도 고려 대상이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서울시 광진구 일부의 부하를 담당하고 있는 22.9 kV 고압 배전 지중 선로를 시험 선로로 비접촉식 커플러를 통해 통신 신호를 전송하여 삽입 손실 측정 결과를 보았고 케이블 접속 개소의 영향을 주파수 영역에서 채널 특성을 통해 분석 하였다. 시험 결과 케이블 접속 개소를 통과할 때 채널 특성은 십여 dB의 신호 감쇄를 보였다.

In this paper, performance of a turbo-coded OFDM system is analyzed and simulated in a power line communication channel. Since the power line communication system typically operates in a hostile environment, turbo code has been employed to enhance reliability of transmitted data. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. As turbo decoding algorithms, MAP (maximum a posteriori), Max-Log-MAP, and SOVA (soft decision Viterbi output) algorithms are chosen and their performances are compared. From simulation results, it is demonstrated that Max-Log-MAP algorithm is promising in terms of performance and complexity. It is shown that performance is substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations and interleaver length of a turbo encoder. The results in this paper can be applied to OFDM-based high-speed power line communication systems.
