This paper describes design and implementation of home network control protocol for networked home appliances. The proposed network protocol has four-layered protocol structure and device-modem interface structure for the flexibility of modems based on power line communication. The standard message set is specified to guarantee the interoperability between various home appliances The proposed protocol can be easily implemented because it has minimum network overhead.

In this paper, an simple load management system was introduced. This system is composed of Main Controller, DTU(Dispersion Terminal Unit), Power Line Modem and HMI (Human Machine Interface) program. To control distant loads, network function using powerline communication is implemented in DTU, with HMI program, the untrained users are able to operate system easily. Additionally using the Powerline, the cost and time of installation is saved. The system performance was proved in a several experiments.

Power line for digital home appliances has own property that transmitting power connected to loads. Especially, power line communication(PLC) for the home network which has characteristics of load fluctuation makes variable noise characteristics. It becomes serious problems to maintain efficient communication performance. Thus, in this paper, we present an optimal modulation and demodulation method through mathematical analysis of each measured load fluctuation based on PLC for home appliances. To analyze and compare various modem methods presented in this paper, we analyzed them normally via computer simulation under various noise channel environments according to various load fluctuations. In addition, we certified its availability through hardware implementation.

This paper presents a systematic method of probing channel characteristics and communication reliabilities of home PLC (power line communication) network applied to the Internet accessed control of home appliances. The effects of the three performance deterioating factors, i.e., additive noise, channel attenuation, and intersymbol interference, can be systematically measured by applying the channel probing waveform in the frequency range from 100kHz to 450kHz. The agreement between the derived probability of bit error and the measured probability of bit error supports the validity of the proposed approach of probing home power line channel characteristics. The experimental results performed with the constructed test-bed applying the proposed channel probing method also support the feasibility of commercially deploying the PLC modem installed home appliances and their services for the Internet accessed home automation.

RPA(Remelt Power Analysis)and RC(Remote Control) System have been researched from former several decade for a various power rate system a efficent power service and rising of personal expenses, etc. But the existing RPA and RC System have disadventage which are complex and high cost to install an individual communication network of electricity company This paper proposed a new type of RPA and RC System using PLC with Internet. and made components for proposal system so we made the PLC modem, the digital watt-hour meter with a build in PLC modem and the softwere on server computer for establishing the proposal system. The bit rate of the proposed system is about 4800bps.

In this paper, an intelligent demand control system was introduced. This system are composed of demand controller, RTU, power line modem and HMI program. The proposed demand controller was capable of synchronizing with watt-hour meter recommended by KEPCO(Korea Electrical Power Corporation). To control remote loads, network function using powerline communication is implemented in RTU with HMI program and novices are able to operate system easily. Additionally using the power line, the cost and time of installation can b saved. The system performance was proved with a several experiments.

There are many applicable services such as remote metering, load control, distribution line automation, Pole transformer Monitoring having their own networks in the electric power company. The application of the optical network technology as the back-born network to the Automation Systems in KEPCO is potentially beneficial in reliability, speed, and expandability. The 1-core and 2-core optical modems were developed and used by the Distribution Automation System. But, They had some disadvantages and advantages. So, We designed the new optical modems applied each advantages. This paper presents some of design efforts and test results for the multi-channel optical modem at KRPRI.

This paper is concerned with a power line channel modeling for the more fast and efficiently power line communication experiment. A capacitor load channel simulator is a essential equipment in the power line modem development for in-house network. We accomplished a channel modelling by the frequency response method about the total 298 capacitor load channels. This channel data is acquired by the capacitor load simulator modeling a real power line channel environment. When the experiment results acquired from the capacitor load simulator were compared with the result from a channel filter, we confirmed to substitute capacitor load experiments on the actual power line communication without big error.

Considerable efforts has been recently devoted to the determination of accurate channel models for the Power Line environment, both for the indoor and outdoor cases. The common denominator and limitation of the known and previously published models is the particular type of approach followed. In this paper is concerned with a power line channel modeling for the more fast and efficiently power line communication experiment. A capacitor load channel simulator is a essential equipment in the power line modem development for indoor network. We accomplished a channel modelling by the frequency response method about the total 224 capacitor load cases. On the basis of this measurement modeling it is here revealed that the PLC is a more deterministic media that commonly believed.
