CRITICAL AND NON-CRITICAL LOADS MANAGEMENT THROUGH POWER LINE COMMUNICATION (PLC)

Abstract

This study includes technique used for utilizing Power Line communication and its application in various areas of power distribution system such as smart grid, smart metering, electricity theft reduction, reduction in line losses and load management. The proposed load management system will give priority to critical loads over non-critical loads during high demand. The system is based on Power line communication modules with electrical and electronics spring or control unit. The recorded data will transmit using local power lines to load management center for monitoring. The communication between Loads and control management is proposed through power line communication technique and will be simulated in Matlab/Simulink in order to analyze the communication channel effects and losses.
