The representative communication method which is applied in the low-speed power line communication modem with 60bps is single carrier method. It has been used mainly for the control. The single carrier method is very sensitive to a power line communication channel environment. Specially, the severe attenuation of the transmission signal according to the notch characteristics of channel becomes the main cause of communication error. Domestic power line channel environment has this notable feature. In this paper, we implemented the low-speed power line communication system which used the chirp signal method to be strong in notch and noise characteristics. In this research, we proposed the method which transmits 1- '1 Unit symbol Chirp signal' with a 100${\mu}s$ time within 1ms for 1 bit. Also it applied for the Convolution code for an error correction and the Manchester code for a collision perception and an error detection. It used the method which uses the bit correlator for signal detection in the receiver parts. We confirmed that the communication method of the chirp method has a excellent performance compared to single carrier methods with a result of experiment of the low-speed power line communication system with the 60bps.

Power line communication or power line carrier (PLC) is a system for carrying data on a conductor and can also used for electric power transmission. Now the powers used in the motor drive system are mostly DC sources. Even AC powers in some systems are generated from DC sources by the inverter. It is can be forecasted that the DC-link PLC technology will be widely used in various industrial fields. In this paper a novel BLDC motor control system using ASK DC-link PLC technology is proposed. The characteristic of this system is that the communication only needs 2 DC lines and there are no additional lines to translate the reference signals. The number of signal cables can be minimized when the DC-link PLC method is applied in the multi motor control system and the slip ring design also can be simplified when this method is applied in rotation machines. The proposed motor control system is clarified by the PSIM and MATLAB simulations and tested through the hardware prototype.

In this paper a communication system that is not using the communication line but power line is presented. It will be very useful for an information-oriented society with tele-metering and home automation. Conventional system has a difficulty in transmitting information due to decreasing communication voltage and increasing carrier, current. Proposed idea is a special type switching amplifier system which has a low inner resistance. It can provide reactive power and dose not have low impedance between the transceivers. This new system is proposed to overcome the loss of conductor load in a PLC system.

In this paper the performance of communication system in the electrical power line using error correcting codes is analysed. The BCH codes and interleaved code are to be used for correcting burst and random errors in the power line channels. The data rate of 2400 bps and the carrier frequency of 12KHz are assumed. Actual power line noise is recorded and simulated in the BPSK PLC system model.

This thesis is about power line communication(PLC) over the low voltage grid. The main advantage with power line communication is the use of an existing infrastructure. The PLC channel can be modeled as having multi-path propagation with frequency-selective fading, typical power lines exhibit signal attenuation increasing with length and frequency. OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a modulation technique where multiple low data rate carriers are combined by a transmitter to form a composite high data rate transmission. To implement the multiple carrier scheme using a bank of parallel modulators would not be very efficient in analog hardware. Each carrier in an OFDM is a sinusoid with a frequency that is an integer multiple of a base or fundamental sinusoid frequency. Therefore, each carrier is a like a Fourier series component of the composite signal. In fact, it will be shown later that an OFDM signal is created in the frequency domain, and then transformed into the time domain via the Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT).

The load impedance of power lines generally varies with time, areas, and season. Also, the harmonic noises by the power electrical equipments are scattered through the power lines. The received signal level varies with the environment and is not able to detect the PLC(Power Line Carrier) signal. For this reason, it is requried for the signal transmitter to hold the received signal level uniform independently with the variation of the load impedence. In this paper, the power lines are modeled simply and a method keeping the received signal level uniform is suggested through the analysis of the signal transmission characteritics of the PLC coupler using tank circuit.

This paper presents an adaptive line coupler to match input impedance of the Power line Communication(PLC) modem between access impedance of the power line. This line coupler provides maximum signal power transmiting capability, high reliability. The structure of this coupler is simple and designed to make a easy and low cost. The proposed line coupler is suitable for Amplitude Shift Keying(ASK) or Phase Shift Keying(PSK) modem. To figure out our models, the analysis of the transmitting features of power line channel is performed in the time domain at the carrier frequency. As a result of this study, we present the values of capacitors in the capacitor bank and adaptive line coupler circuit.

In this paper, we studied the emissive electric field due to the communication signal and the noise in medium voltage power-line. There are many types of conductive noise in power-line channel, which gives rise to radiation. And if the DMT carrier signal was excited, the current by this term was added to the current by noise and, generate radiation. We calculated input impedance by means of signal input network model of medium voltage power-line channel for calculating these currents. We calculated currents by input impedance and, calculated the emissive electric field by this calculated currents. From the measurement results, we knew that the measured results are very similar to the calculated results and if the input signal power level was higher than -40 dBm, the emissive electric field exceeds FCC radiation limit level 69.5 dB$\mu$V/m.

Recently. due to the drastic development of communication method between substations for pilot protective relaying system. The power line carrier(PLC) application is getting obsolete. Consequently, the coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) loses its necessity for the carrier coupling function, and so wound voltage transformer(VT) can be used to substitute CCVT for voltage signal. However, VT has been reported to give rise to ferro-resonance phenomena, so sufficient consideration on applying the VT to line side is required. This study introduces probable technical problems in using the VT on T/L side, and carries out feasibility study on the basis of modeling results by EMTP(Electro-magnetic transient program)
