The giant information exchange enabled by the Internet of Things paradigm will likely exploit electrical lines as a ready-to-use infrastructure. The advantage of using the pre-installed infrastructure of wiring networks makes power line communication a competitive technology for broad-band communications. Therefore, there has been a growing interest towards the use of existing power line communication channels as an effective means for transmitting high speed data and Internet service. One of the main noise types affecting power line communication systems is the impulsive noise, and the focus of this work is on the impact of this impulsive noise on the performance of OFDM-QPSK systems. For the performance analysis of impulsive noise, data measured in three environments were used. Through the analysis, it is shown that OFDM-QPSK system outperforms QPSK system for most of the impulsive noise cases. Also, RS-coded OFDM-QPSK system can achieve good BER performance under 3 cases impulsive noise environment.

In this paper, we propose the deep learning based pre interference cancellation scheme algorithm for power line communication (PLC) systems in smart grid. The proposed scheme estimates the channel noise information by applying a deep learning model at the transmitter. Then, the estimated channel noise is updated in database. In the modulator, the channel noise which reduces the power line communication performance is effectively removed through interference cancellation technique. As an impulsive noise model, Middleton Class A interference model was employed. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme has better BER performance compared to the theoretical model based on additive white Gaussian noise. As a result, the proposed interference cancellation with deep learning improves the signal quality of PLC systems by effectively removing the channel noise. The results of the paper can be applied to PLC for smart grid and general communication systems.

Since Korea has a small land area, it is expected to construct the conductor return type with neutral wire in the case of ${\pm}500kV$ HVDC double bipole transmission line. Therefore, in order to apply ${\pm}500kV$ HVDC double bipole transmission line with neutral wire in Korea, it is necessary to develop technology for insulation and environmental designs. In this study, radio interference, audible noise, electric field and ion current density according to the polarity arrangement were compared and assessed in the ${\pm}500kV$ HVDC double bipole transmission line with the conductor return method. And the optimum configuration of HVDC double bipole transmission line was determined from the viewpoint of electrical environment.

For the power line communication, we studied its characteristic impedance, noise characteristics, loss characteristics and the coupling circuit between the communication MODEM and power lines. As the results of the experiments, we concluded that the power line impedance in a house varied in the wide range because the electric systems generate the current and voltage hamornic noises.

Power line communication, using 25[kV] high voltage of railway catenary, is to provide information which is real-time safety information for train operations and train workers in driving. Lots of noise were occupied in the contact wire by electrical and communication equipments. A signal attenuation was caused characteristics of the contact wire and messenger wire. For relaying communications to transmit information using the contact wire, catenary the noise and signal attenuation were investigated. And the final goal of the study was realized to transmit video information by power line communication on electric railway.

The power line channel has time-variant characteristics caused by various kind of electrical devices. This characteristics are synchronized with the main voltage by their own characteristics. The main factors of disturbance are the variation of the channel impedance and noises. In other papers, the synchronous noise modeling has been achieved. But the modeling is not satisfied simultaneously with the time domain and the frequency domain and there are not any discussion about short-term variations of the channel impedance which cause to the signal fading. Therefore, this paper researched to solve problems about the signal fading by analyzing the short-term variation of the channel impedance, and proposed the synchronous noise modeling which is satisfied simultaneously in the time domain and the frequency domain.

We have developed the power line simulator which is one of the basic tools for the research of the power line communication and the control system. In the developed simulators, we have considered the transfer characteristics of the power line, various noise characteristics, and signal attenuation characteristics.

This study analyzes the performance of power-line communications for sending open automated demand response (OpenADR) signals. In particular, we study main channel disturbances that can affect end-to-end communications and which have not been previously studied in detail. Our analysis takes into account physical phenomena, such as background and impulsive noise sources, channel attenuation, and multipath effects, and considers the physical, network, and applications layers of the communications structure. The performance of the physical layer is the basis for computing the packet error rate. In analyzing application performance, we focus specifically on the latency in several communication environments. If a channel is impaired only by background noise, latencies are less than 40 seconds. With the addition of impulsive noise in the channel, this value increases as long as 68 seconds. Using these figures, we find that power-line technology is more suitable for "slow" demand programs, such as day-ahead or day-of curtailments, rather than ancillary services markets, which require near-real-time communication.
