Performance of Power Line Communication Systems With Noise Reduction Scheme For Smart Grid Applications

The document proposes two noise reduction schemes, clipping and equalization, for power line communication systems. Clipping cuts off signal amplitudes above a threshold level to reduce noise without changing phase. Equalization compensates for channel attenuation effects. Simulation results showed clipping slightly outperformed conventional power line systems in reducing bit error rate. The noise reduction schemes can benefit power line communication systems for smart grid applications.

PERFORMANCE OF POWER LINE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS WITH NOISE REDUCTION SCHEME FOR SMART GRID APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT:
X10 protocol is meant for data communication over the power line which carries 230V, 50 Hz Ac supply. Here we are going to use the power line in the industry for data acquisition purpose. This is an improvement of data communication over the power line. X10 is an international and open industry standard for communication among electronic devices used for home automation, also known as domotics. It primarily uses power line wiring for signaling and control, where the signals involve brief radio frequency bursts representing digital information. Whether using power line or radio communications, packets transmitted using the X10 control protocol consist of a four bit house code followed by one or more four bit unit code, finally followed by a four bit command. In this paper, we propose clipping scheme and equalizer as methods to reduce the effects of impulsive noise and channel attenuation in power line communication (PLC) system.

Clipping is cutting off the amplitude of the received signal over threshold level without its phase change in order to reduce noise effects. The equalizer compensates for effects of PLC channel. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed clipping scheme has slightly better performance than conventional PLC system. The results of the paper can be applied to PLC systems for smart grid. 1

WORKING PRINCIPLE:

The device is a hardware interface that allows control data communication over the power line. Its purpose is that of translating the serial output provided by some digital service, like a microcontroller, into a coded pulse train that is suitable for being transmitted over the usual domestic power lines. Conversely, the interface is able to extract such messages from the power line and to convert them into serial streams that the connected digital device can read. The interface therefore acts like a modem, allowing the employment of the common electrical supply network of a building as a local area network. When coupled with a programmable digital device, such as a microprocessor or a microcontroller, the device allows the realization of intelligent and communicative equipments that can interact with similar objects over a domestic network, without the need of installing a dedicating wiring. Typical applications are in the field of Home and Building Automation (management of surveillance and alarm systems, home appliances automation, AMR (Automatic Meter Reader), Home automation control, Security and surveillance, Generalpurpose isolated transceiver. The innovative feature of these devices is that they transmit data on the power line, using the concept of conveyed wave (zero crossing). We use an 8051 based microcontroller the at89c51 for the transmitter and the receiver. From a keypad on the transmitter the relay section on the receiver can be controlled.
