Influence Of Physical Parameters And Age Of Power Lines On Plc/Bpl Performance And Reliability

Abstract

The power grid conditions in distribution networks are usually unknown and the issue is missing knowledge of current technical condition of power cables. Distribution system operator need to know the consumption and other measuring values closer to the customer. The Broadband Powerline Technology (BPL) provides cost-effective way to realize communication with the possibility of current infrastructure. This technology could be as communication channel and simultaneously diagnostic tool.
