Abstract:
Power line communications (PLC) are estimated using a number of technical research papers
and up-to-date journals. The purpose of this study is to pinpoint crucial power line
communications components for indoor and outdoor applications as well as the usage of
consumer communication during the global commercial development of numerous potential
services. Considerations include potential services, bandwidth, service area, quality,
dependability, and pricing. The generation side of the power grid has seen major change
recently, with a rise in the usage of energy sources (renewable), which are less centralized and
have more variable availability than traditional ones. Similar to how electric vehicle uptake
would significantly alter consumption habits. Because of these changing circumstances, the
power grid’s assets need to be better monitored and controlled, and smart metering is essential
to achieving these goals. Power line communications (PLC) has emerged as a practical
alternative in many situations, despite the fact that there are other communication technologies
available for smart metering applications. Additionally, it offers a private communication
network to the distribution system operator (DSO) and seamlessly integrates sensing and
communication functions. This paper provides a brief explanation of PLC in the context of smart
meters and the necessity of power line communication.
