Introduction n Powerline Communication (PLC), also known as Broadband Over Powerline (BPL) is a technique for sending high speed data through existing powerline as transmission medium. n PLC creates a high speed data communications network using the medium and low voltage electric distribution grids which connects consumers to the Internet through any electric socket in the consumers home. n Powerline is the worlds largest existing wired infrastructure.
Introduction… n The idea of sending data through the power distribution network is not new - First technique to make use of PLC for control message by the methods ‘Ripple Control’ in the early 1950 s. - Earlier technology used low frequency and data rate was very low. - Recent development has been achieved bit rate of several Mbps.
PLC Technology PLC System In-House Access • Uses the Building's electrical wiring to network computers and devices within a building. • This technology employs the outside distribution powerlines (i. e. medium-voltage or low-voltage) overhead or underground. One system uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to distribute the PLC/BPL signal over a width bandwidth using many narrow-band sub-carriers. At the injector side, data from the backbone network is converted into the OFDM signal format and then coupled onto one phase of the MV powerline.

Technical issues for PLC system n n Impedance mismatch in receiver side Channel attenuation Noise ( Background noise, Impulsive noise) Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues - Potential radio interference - Outdoor powerlines are excellent radiators of frequencies used in BPL systems, so they behave as transmitting ( and receiving) antennas. - Complex work to be done in order to establish accepted rules by which BPL can be operated In a safety way and without interference.
