Description
Power Line Communication (PLC) is a means of communication that uses the power line network medium to transmit data and signals. The PLC system is basically divided into Narrowband and Broadband PLC system. The PLC is considered to be one of the most favourable candidates for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). In the past Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) used PLC (Narrowband-PLC) as a medium of Communication for smart prepaid metering but was unsuccessful due to hostile nature of the power line characteristics like electrical noise and interferences. Noise characterization of the power lines channel is very important for PLC systems design. In this paper, the measurements of noise properties injected by various loads in the Narrowband frequency 1-500 KHz and Broadband frequency 2-12 MHz spectrum are presented and discussed. The outcome of the study suggests that the …
