Network Performance of a PLC Protocol for Smart Grid

Article Preview

Abstract:

Implementing smart grid demands a wide area communication network for connecting all the feeder equipments, consumers’ meters and high-consuming appliances, etc, for both utilities’ and consumers’ applications. Using power line itself as a communication medium is an ideal solution for construction of a cost-effective and high speed transmission network. A new flooding-based routing protocol has been developed. The PLC (Power Line Communication) network performances of this protocol are evaluated using theoretical analysis.
