PLC is gaining prominence as a solution for Smart Grid developments. However, several aspects still require further research and analysis. Among the different solutions, PRIME (PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution) standard is one of the most popular and extended implementations. This paper analyses the performance impact caused by the polling strategy utilized in an auto meter reading (AMR) process...
In this paper, we use the Standard Propagation Model (SPM), as a path loss prediction model to analyze propagation characteristics of Managua city in order to implement coverage in a 3G-WCDMA network. SPM is integral part of propagation model used in today's radio network planning tools like ATOLL®. This contribution describes how the SPM can be calibrated and applied as a propagation model that can...
This paper analyses the performance impact caused by the selection of a node to act as a switch in a PLC network using PRIME (PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution) standard. This performance is measured in terms of application data message roundtrip. Additionally, a decision algorithm is proposed in order to identify the most favorable switch, fulfilling a gap left open in the aforementioned standard...
Robust grid synchronisation of power electronic converters is essential for their use with Distributed Generation Systems. A considerable number of techniques have been proposed to address this issue, but often their performance is not fully validated using a consistent experimental setup. Furthermore, even when experimental validation is used, there is still a lack of rigour in many of the evaluative...
