The master´s thesis deals with the design of medium voltage power line protection and the calculation of reliability indicators. First, it deals with the possibilities of power system operation. Subsequently, it divides the networks according to the grounding of the transformer node and the switching elements and devices occurring in the MV distribution network are mentioned. It presents the basic classification of power line protection and its use, especially it focuses on overhead and cable MV power lines. It also discusses the reliability of the power supply and lists the basic reliability indicators and their possible calculation. The practical part describes the changes in the considered area of the distribution network, where the reconstruction of the power line VN872 and a new way of powering the village Drnholec will take place. The impact of this change on the reliability of the supplied energy is also calculated. Furthermore, the protection of the power line is designed and the correctness of its setting is then verified on the model in the PSS Sincal software.

ITC/USA 2015 Conference Proceedings / The Fifty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2015 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV / Power line communications (PLC)-based transceivers provide an alternative to establishing dedicated aircraft Ethernet networks. Adding new aircraft functionality or installing special purpose instrumentation often requires significant engineering and aircraft down time to complete. PLC-based networks can reduce project cost and schedule by enabling localized aircraft modifications and leveraging existing aircraft wiring for the Ethernet medium. PLC standards continue to evolve and achieve greater throughput rates and noise mitigation. Ethernet communications have been tested over AC and DC power busses, data busses, and discrete wiring. PLC networks have been successfully demonstrated in avionics test beds and aircraft (including live video transfers) without causing interference to the basic systems or the underlying wiring functionality. PLC transceivers provide a cost effective solution to the adding Ethernet capabilities or Ethernet-based subsystems to existing aircraft.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει παρουσιαστεί μία τηλεπικοινωνιακή τεχνολογία υλοποίησης δικτύων η οποία μας επιτρέπει την μεταφορά τηλεπικοινωνιακού σήματος προς και από τους συνδρομητές χρησιμοποιώντας το υφιστάμενο δίκτυο διανομής της ηλεκτρικής ισχύος. Η τεχνολογία αυτή είναι η “BPL” ή “Broadband over Power line” και είναι το κύριο θέμα της εργασίας αυτής. Αρχικά θα παρουσιάσουμε τις τηλεπικοινωνιακές υπηρεσίες που μπορούν να προσφέρονται μέσω των “BPL” δικτύων τόσο για τους καταναλωτές/συνδρομητές, αλλά και προς του ίδιους τους παρόχους και διαχειριστές του δικτύου. Μία νέα γενιά έξυπνων δικτύων γεννιέται και είναι πολλά υποσχόμενη σε ποικίλους τομείς. Στη συνέχεια θα μελετήσουμε τα δίκτυα αυτά από πλευράς τοπολογίας υλοποίησης τους αναφέροντας τρείς τρόπους με τους οποίους αυτό μπορεί να γίνει εφικτό. Θα παρουσιάσουμε επίσης τα βασικά στοιχεία του εξοπλισμού, τις προδιαγραφές αυτών των δικτύων καθώς επίσης και τις παρεμβολές που μπορεί να παρουσιαστούν μαζί με την ηλεκτρομαγνητική συμβατότητα των συστημάτων αυτών. Συνεχίζοντας θα μελετήσουμε με περισσότερη λεπτομέρεια την υλοποίηση των “BPL” δικτύων, αναφέροντας τις τεχνικές διαμόρφωσης σήματος, την διαχείριση σφαλμάτων, την λειτουργία του “BPL” “MAC” στρώματος, αλλά την οικογένεια ασύρματης διαμόρφωσης τηλεπικοινωνιακών σημάτων 802.11x. Λόγω του ότι η τεχνολογία “BPL” προορίζεται για χρήση σε ηλεκτρικά δίκτυα ανά το παγκόσμιο στην εργασία αυτή θα παρουσιάσουμε επίσης τα διεθνής πρότυπα και τα κριτήρια περί ηλεκτρομαγνητικής συμβατότητας αυτού του τύπου τηλεπικοινωνιακών δικτύων. Προχωρώντας παρουσιάζεται η συμπεριφορά των βασικών διατάξεων ενός δικτύου διανομής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας όταν λειτουργούν σε υψηλές συχνότητες. Μελετώνται βασικές διατάξεις ηλεκτρικών κινητήρων, αντιστροφείς, πυκνωτές, διατάξεις γειωτών πλέγματος και μετασχηματιστών ισχύος. Η αναφορά αυτή κρίνεται απαραίτητη αφού τα “BPL” δίκτυα τα οποία μελετούμε λειτουργούν σε τέτοιες υψηλές συχνότητες. Στο “Κεφάλαιο 6” θα δούμε το “BPL” δίκτυο στο μέλλον παρουσιάζοντας στατιστικά δεδομένα τα οποία επιβεβαιώνουν την όλο και αυξανόμενη ανάγκη των σύγχρονων ανθρώπων για πρόσβαση στο διαδίκτυο, αλλά και το γεγονός ότι η αξιοποίηση των υφιστάμενων ηλεκτρικών δικτύων αποτελεί ίσως την πλέον συμφέρουσα λύση. Τελειώνοντας την εργασία θα παρουσιάσουμε την υλοποίηση “GPON-BPL” με στοιχεία και εξοπλισμό από την εταιρία “Corinex” και θα παρουσιάσουμε την θεωρητική υλοποίηση των τριών τοπολογιών “BPL” δικτύου που έχουμε αναφέρει σε προηγούμενο κεφάλαιο. Η υλοποίηση γίνεται με βάση τον σταθμό Υψηλής/Μέσης τάσης της Κοκκινοτριμιθιάς της επαρχίας Λευκωσίας στην Κύπρο και γίνεται σύγκριση των τριών αρχιτεκτονικών από πλευράς κόστους υλοποίησης και ταχύτητας δικτύου που παρέχεται στους συνδρομητές του. Τελικά γίνεται μια σύγκριση των δικών μας αποτελεσμάτων με παρόμοια εργασία που έγινε για το νομό της Λακωνίας στην Ελλάδα / In recent years has presented a telecommunication network implementation technology which allows us to transfer telecommunication signals to and from subscribers using the existing distribution network of electric power. This technology is the "BPL" or "Broadband over Power line" and is the main topic of this work. Initially we present the telecommunications services may be offered through the "BPL" networks to consumers / subscribers, but also to the same providers and network administrators. A new generation of intelligent networks is born and is promising in various fields. Then we will study these networks in terms of their implementation topology indicating three ways in which this can be feasible. We also present the basics of the equipment, the specifications of these networks as well as the interference that can occur with the electromagnetic compatibility of these systems. Continuing we will study in more detail the implementation of "BPL" networks, indicating the signal modulation techniques, management errors, the function of "BPL" "MAC" layer, but the family configuration wireless telecommunications signals 802.11x. Because the technology "BPL" intended for use on electrical networks worldwide in this paper will also present the international standards and criteria EMC this type of telecommunication networks. Moving shows the behavior of the main provisions of a power distribution network when operating at high frequencies. Discuss basic provisions of electric motors, inverters, capacitors, earthing grid devices and power transformers. This reference is necessary as the "BPL" networks that we study operate at such high frequencies. In "Chapter 6" will see the "BPL" network in the future by presenting statistical data confirm the ever growing need of modern people to access the internet, but the fact that the use of existing electrical networks is perhaps the most advantageous solution . Finishing the job will present the implementation "GPON-BPL" to data and equipment from the company "Corinex" and will present the theoretical implementation of the three topologies "BPL" network we have mentioned in the previous chapter. The implementation is based on the station high / medium voltage Kokkinotrimithia of Nicosia in Cyprus and compares the three architectures in terms of implementation cost and speed network provided to its subscribers. Finally a comparison of our results with similar work done for the county of Laconia in Greece

Home networking is becoming an attractive application not only for the Internet access but also for home automation. Being a high-speed and dominant standard presently, HomePlug has an important role in home LAN connecting to the Internet. For industrial applications, the Power Line Communication also has significant advances. However, the PHY/MAC technology provided by HomePlug still cannot be employed with some critical features such as real time performance, implications in the event of link and node loss. In this paper, the characteristics of HomePlug PHY/MAC, the property of power line channel, as well as the noise features of power line are analyzed. Based on HomePlug, a model of high level real-time protocol applied to industrial environment is proposed. The protocol simultaneously belongs to layer two and three, and can support real-time implementation with no loss and small delay according to the requirement in PLC networks, for targeting to develop a real time network with high speed power line media and advanced modulation. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)

<p>With the ever increasing demand for data communication methods, power line communication has become an interesting alternative method for data communication. Power line communication falls into two categories: one for data transmission between sites in the power grid and the other for home or office networking. When considering home or office networking, existing methods are either too slow for tasks other than simple automation, or are very fast with a higher cost than necessary for the desired function. The objective in this work is to develop a lower cost communication system with an intermediate data transmission rate.</p><p>At first glance, power line communication looks like a good option because of the availability of power outlets in every room of a building. However, the power conductors were installed solely for the purpose of distributing 60 Hz mains power and, for data signals, they exhibit very high attenuation, variable impedance and there is radio frequency shielding. Furthermore, many of the 60 Hz loads produce radio frequency interference that impedes data communication. Previous research has shown that much of the noise is time synchronous with the 60 Hz mains frequency and that the majority of data errors occur during these periods of high noise.</p><p> This work develops a power line communication protocol that coordinates transmissions and uses only the predictable times of lower noise. Using a central control strategy, the power line 60 Hz mains signal is divided into 16 timeslots and each timeslot is monitored for errors. The central controller periodically polls all stations to learn which timeslots have low noise and it then controls all transmissions to make the best use of these good timeslots. The periodic polling allows the system to adapt to changes in electrical loading and noise. This control strategy has been achieved with modest complexity and laboratory measurements have shown throughput approaching 70% of the modem bit rate.</p>

In recent years, the development of power line communication and relational application is gradually attracted much attention. The use of power line system is able to achieve home network automation, automatic meter reading, and demand supply management, so it can be a great help for the current emphasis on energy conservation ideas. Therefore, many international organizations and national programs involve in researches. The signal is vulnerable to the environment causing data error in the power line transmission, so that we reduce the use of power line communication. For making great application of power line system, the main purpose of the thesis is to study that ensure the data accuracy, integrity and security through power line transmission. Therefore, we designed the digital chip for power line communication. We achieve the signal transmission with the half-duplex ability through power line by digital chip designing and solve error problems about transmitting data. By designing the modules of digital circuit, the chip can encrypt/decrypt data, correct error-bits of data, detect accuracy of data, process control signals, and modulate/demodulate signals. The purpose is for increasing data accuracy in PLC transmission. The chip design adopts TSMC 0.18£gm process as full digital circuits and applies to the energy meter management.

This thesis develops a power line carrier(PLC) communication module using FSK modulation technology by integration of PLC chip, with various hardware circuits such as DSP, signal coupling and amplifier circuits, filter. The communication performance and conduction EMI tests and executed for the communication module developed. The PLC module is then applied for appliance control of commercial customers to fulfill the demand response function for energy conservation by reducing the summer peak loading. Besides sending the load control command from central station in the smart grid, the power consumption of various appliances can also be collected and transmitted back to the control station via two way communication with the PLC communication module. Finally, the broadband PLC (BPLC) is applied for the CCTV supervision in system to support asset management of distribution room to prevent the power equipment from steal. With the remote control of light brightness and CCTV lens with high data transmission rate provided, the communication performance of PLC can therefore be verified in this study.
