In this paper, we have represented basic experiment results for the application of electric vehicle powerline communication using an induction type coupler. The coupler was fabricated using nano-crystalline alloy and it was applied to the charging system of electric vehicles to measure the communication performance. Experimental results showed a channel bandwidth over 48 Mbps.

0.5MHz-40MHz 대역 옥내 저압전력선 (220V) 임피던스를 측정하였다. 측정을 위해 벡터 회로망 분석기와 저압 전력선 결합 장치(coupling unit)를 이용하였다. 결합 장치를 T형 등가회로로 바꾸어, 전체 회로에서 얻은 산란계수를 이용하여 저압 전력선 임피던스를 구했다. 제안된 방법으로 실제 한국형 저층 연립 아파트에 대한 평균 임피던스를 측정하였고, 그 결과 평균 임피던스 약 $100{\Omega}$이었다.

Recent studies have been conducted on powerline communications as a viable alternative to the spread of the spread of the Internet and the Internet as the chief source of information act in the information age, the internet does not reach local Last Mile Solution. Powerline communication, but because it has been designed to transfer power to the high frequency signal to be sent when the close of wireless communications services impacted. The notch filters of a common way to eliminate the interference are used. In this paper, a dynamic high-performance notch filter applying WDF performance was verified through MATLAB and was implemented using a TI's TMS320C6416T DSP board.

We propose an Power line communication, also known as Power line Digital Subscriber Line (PDSL), mains communication, power line telecom (PLT), or power line networking (PLN), or Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) are systems for carrying data on a conductor also used for electric power transmission. Power line communications can also be used to interconnect home computers, peripherals or other networked consumer peripherals. Specifications for power line home networking have been developed by a number of different companies within the framework of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, the Universal Powerline Association and the HD-PLC Alliance.

Powerline communications (PLC) is a promising medium for network access technology where smart grid aided network services can be provided. In the presence of frequency selective fading in the PLC channel, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique for reliable communications. This paper presents a spectral efficient method using a superimposed hidden pilot for OFDM-based PLC systems. Based on the scheme using a hidden pilot, it is possible to estimate the channel with no consumption of bandwidth, but with utilization of power allocated to the hidden pilot. Computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme provides higher achievable data rate than that of the conventional schemes in low voltage and medium voltage transmission lines.

Nowadays, Power Line Communication (PLC) is gaining high attention from industry and electric supply companies for the services like demand response, demand side management and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The reliable services to consumers using PLC can be provided by utilizing an efficient PLC channel for which sophisticated channel modeling is very important. This paper presents characterization of a Low Voltage (LV) access network for Narrowband Power Line Communications (NB-PLC) using transmission line (TL) theory and a Simulink model. The TL theory analysis not only includes the constant parameters but frequency selectivity is also introduced in these parameters such as resistance, conductance and impedances. However, the proposed Simulink channel model offers an analysis and characterization of capacitive coupler, network impedance and channel transfer function for NB-PLC. Analysis of analytical and simulated results shows a close agreement of the channel transfer function. In the absence of a standardized NBPLC channel model, this research work can prove significant in improving the efficiency and accuracy of NB-PLC communication transceivers for Smart Grid communications.

At present, indoor optical wireless communications using LED lightings has been widely studied. The combination of this technology to the low voltage powerline grid installed in each home makes an efficient method for fulfilling the premise of broadband access for home networking. In this paper, white LEDs were used for both illumination and remote-control, so that information can be broadcast within a room for control the optical wireless systems. We implemented a model car to evaluate the performance of optical wireless remote-control. The requirement for levels of illumination suitable for communication were investigated and applied to design the test-bed. In spite of limitation of line-of-sight communications, it will open up new applications to the optical wireless remote control system in an electromagnetic interference region.

Ferrite cores are used as a soft magnetic material in the fabrication of couplers for inductive powerline communication (PLC). However, it is difficult to adjust the size freely according to the power-line and power-grid environment. In this paper, we report that a nano-crystalline alloy with higher permeability than ferrite can be used as an inductive coupler for non-contact PLC. Since nano-crystalline are produced in the form of a thin ribbon, the size of the coupler can be freely controlled by the number of ribbons wound on the toroidal core. It was fabricated with induction type coupler and showed to be suitable for non-contact power line communication. Experimental results show that the communication bandwidth is 45 Mbps for 100 m and 8 Mbps for 200 m under the current fluctuation of less than 100 A, and the reception ratio is 100%.

전력선 통신(Power Lire Communication)은 홈오토메이션, 원격 검침(AMR) 분야에서 많이 사용되어진다. 전력선 통신은 많은 유용성에도 불구하고 전력선 채널에 대한 정확한 채널 모델링과 전력선 모뎀에 관해서는 많은 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속 전력선 통신을 위한 전송선로의 주파수에 대한 잡음과 임피던스 특성 및 전력선 채널에 OFDM 신호를 QPSK 변조기법으로 전송하였을 때의 시뮬레이션 결과와 설계된 FPGA 보드를 비교 분석 하였다. 채널 모델은 잡음과 감쇠 특성만을 고려하여 모델링 하였으며, 전력선 채널 상에서의 OFDM 기법을 적용한 모뎀의 성능을 분석하였다.
