Deployment Concepts for Overhead High Voltage Broadband over Power Lines Con- Nections with Two-hop Repeater System: Capacity Countermeasures against Aggra- Vated Topologies and High Noise Environ- Ments

چکیده
This paper extends the existing transmission and capacity analysis in order to investigate the broadband potential of overhead high-voltage/broadband over power lines (HV/BPL) connections where a single repeater is additively deployed between their existing transmitting and receiving ends (overhead HV/BPL connections with two-hop repeater system). The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, the broadband performance of various overhead HV/BPL connections with two-hop repeater system has been studied with regard to their cumulative capacity. The analysis and relevant simulations validate the potentially excellent communications medium of overhead HV/BPL channels over a 25 km repeater span well beyond 88 MHz in terms of cumulative capacity. In addition, through the deployment of two-hop repeater systems, apart from the upsurge of cumulative capacity, overhead HV/BPL connections become more adaptive to different capacity requirements. Second, it is found that overhead HV/BPL network capacity performance depends drastically on factors such as the overhead HV grid topology and the noise characteristics. Through the deployment of two-hop repeater systems, capacity losses due to existing aggravated overhead HV/BPL topologies and high noise environments are significantly reduced. Third, the numerical results reveal the importance of considering as suitable mitigation technique the deployment of overhead HV/BPL connections with twohop repeater system. Except for the low-cost and quick technology upgrade of existing overhead HV/BPL networks, this mitigation Received 11 August 2012, Accepted 24 September 2012, Scheduled 29 September 2012 * Corresponding author: Athanasios G.

Broadband Transmission Characteristics of Overhead High-voltage Power Line Communi- Cation Channels
This paper considers broadband signal transmission via high-voltage/broadband over power lines (HV/BPL) channels associated with overhead power transmission. To determine the end-to-end channel characteristics of various overhead HV/BPL multiconductor transmission line (MTL) configurations, the chain scattering matrix or T -Matrix (TM) method is adopted. The overhead HV/BPL transmission channel...

Photovoltaic systems (PVs), despite their many advantages, may have effects such as power quality issues (voltage and harmonics increase), short-circuits level increase, protection issues, and transient stability for network. Some of these effects are due to the high PV penetration, which encounters the network with the over-voltage and harmonics problems. In this paper, the location, size and ...

A new approach for designing an ultra wideband (UWB) CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is presented. The aim of this design is to achieve a low noise figure, reasonable power gain and low power consumption in 3.1-10.6 GHz. Also, the figure of merit (FOM) is significantly improved at 180nm technology compared to the other state-of-the-art designs. Improved π-network and T-network are used to obt...
متن کاملA Suitable Coding Scheme for Broadband Power-line Communication
This paper introduces three coding strategies for using the Luby Transform (LT) code in a relay aided power-line communication scheme. In the first method, the relay decodes the received packets and re-encodes them for transmission towards the destination. In the second method, the relay only forwardes a random linear combination of its received packets towards the destination, while in the thi...
متن کاملBerechnung Und Reduktion Der Tonalen Geräuschemission Von Hochspannungsfreileitungen
Foul weather (rain, fog, snow and hoar frost) can lead to discharges on high voltage overhead transmission lines. These corona discharges result in a broadband crackling noise. In addition in these situations with a low tone at twice the mains frequency (2f , 100Hz in Europe) there often occurs a further noise component. When the introduction of UHV (Ultra High Voltage) overhead transmission wi...
