본 논문에서는 전력선 통신 채널의 간접 잡음 측정에 대한 연구를 하였다. 주위 환경에 의한 Noise 및 여러 통신매체에 의한 방해전파에 의해 전력선 통신 채널은 송신 측의 고출력 요구와 가능한 전력선 통신의 대역폭이 감소하는 악화된 통신환경을 보여 준다. 이러한 Noise를 측정하는 방법은 Coupling Capacitor를 이용한 직접 측정 방식과 이동 측정 장치를 이용한 간접 측정 방식이 있다. 전자는 광범위한 측정지역과 측정장비의 설치 등에서의 번잡함으로 효과적인 Noise 측정이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 방식의 Noise 측정 결과의 비교 및 검토를 통해 이동 측정 장치를 이용한 방식의 장점과 보완할 점을 검토였으며, 특히 직접 측정 방식과의 결과 값의 차이를 보상할 수 있는 상관관계 분석의 필요성을 고찰하였다.

Recently, energy issues such as massive blackout due to increase in power consumption have been emerged, and it is necessary to improve the accuracy of prediction of power consumption as a solution for these problems. In this study, we investigate the difference between the actual power consumption and the predicted power consumption through the deep learning- based power consumption forecasting experiment, and the possibility of adjusting the power reserve ratio. In this paper, the prediction of the power consumption based on the deep learning can be used as a basis to reduce the power reserve ratio so as not to excessively produce extra power. The deep learning method used in this paper uses a learning model of long-short-term-memory (LSTM) structure that processes time series data. In the computer simulation, the generated power consumption data was learned, and the power consumption was predicted based on the learned model. We calculate the error between the actual and predicted power consumption amount, resulting in an error rate of 21.37%. Considering the recent power reserve ratio of 45.9%, it is possible to reduce the reserve ratio by 20% when applying the power consumption prediction algorithm proposed in this study.

본 연구에서는 고속전력선통신(PLC)을 위한 고압배전선의 임피던스 측정 방법을 소개한다. 현재 전세계적으로 고속 PLC를 위해서 1MHz${\sim}$30MHz대역을 사용하고 있다. 임피던스 특성을 실제 필드에서 측정하기 위해 본 연구에서는 휴대용 고압결합장치를 개발하였다. 임의의 고압 배전선에 일시적으로 결합할 수 있도록 고안된 고압결합장치로서 살아있는 전력선에 정전 없이 설치 가능하다. 이 장치는 고압용 커풀러(Coupler)와 60Hz 저주파를 차단하기 위한 드레인 코일(drain coil)로 구성되었다. 측정을 위해서는 벡터 회로망 분석기를 사용하였으며, 본 논문에서는 측정된 고압선 임피던스를 보여 주고 이 결과를 이용한 임피던스 정합 방법을 제시하였다.

To solve the energy problem and finding new growth engines, interest for the smart grid is increasing and related technologies are making great efforts to secure in the world. AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) Among them is the first to be constructed and getting attention as a key component of smart grid. A fusion of various technologies in technology development and demonstration is underway on Jeju Island Smart Grid Demonstration Complex in Korea, and focusing on broadband power line communication technology infrastructure is actively underway in Korea Electric Power Corporation. AMI system using power line communication technology without building a separate communication lines are available for power supply lines, but communication is impossible in occurs because admission to the power company or the ideal infrastructure for communication is not considered. In this paper, we analyze the requirements to build AMI system using Binary CDMA and powerline communications technology, and design the basic communication protocol based on Binary CDMA, implement network management and relay feature. By doing so, ways to apply Ad-hoc Binary CDMA indigenous technology to the AMI system were derived, and could build a system to make use of Wired (PLC) and wireless (Binary CDMA) simultaneously.

In this paper, we introduce the case study on the certificate system for Auto Meter Reading protocol, Device Language Message Specification which is a common language between metering devices and protocol with compatibility and conformance to the IEC 62056 standards. KEPCO has contributed to improve interoperability between different devices of multi vendors through the DLMS standard tests and led the smart metering industry in Korea. KEPCO has AMR system and successful business model for 550 thousands of households based on 24Mbps broadband powerline communications using its infrastructure. We have plan to continue on standardization activities stratagemically by participating in IEC working groups for the purpose of occupying the core technology of Smart Gird.

Powerline communications (PLC) technology has been discussed and analyzed as a highly potential candidate of wireline access network solutions. In this paper, performance of double binary turbo coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is analyzed and simulated in power line communications channel. In order to make power line channel environments, Bernoulli-Gaussian noise is considered. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the double binary turbo coding scheme offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding complexity. It is also shown that the system performance can be substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations.

Broadband powerline communication (BPLC) uses distribution lines as a medium for achieving effective bidirectional data communication along with electric current flow. As the material characteristics of power lines are not good at the communication channel, the development of power line communication (PLC) systems for internet, voice, and data services requires measurement-based models of the transfer characteristics of the network suitable for performance analysis by simulation. In this paper, an analytic model describing a complex transfer function is presented to obtain the attenuation and path parameters for a multipath power line model. The calculated results demonstrated frequency-selective fading in multipath channels and signal attenuation with frequency, and were in good agreement with the experimental results. Inductive coupling units are used as couplers for coupling the signal to the power line to avoid physical connections to the distribution line. The inductance of the ferrite core, which depends on the frequency, determines the cut-off frequency of the inductive coupler. Coupling loss can be minimized by increasing the number of windings around the coupler. Coupling efficiency was improved by more than 6 dB with three windings compared to the results obtained with one winding.
