  7. Introduction • Objective • Project 3.2 aims to study and to develop relevant transmission, information processing, and networking techniques for an efficient and reliable IMG Communication Network (IMGCN) • Issues • The successful implementation of the Intelligent MicroGrids (IMGs) requires an efficient communications infrastructurethat is cost-effective, scalable, fault-tolerant, secure& satisfies the QoSrequirements (data rate, delay, reliability) Fig. x – Full Abstract System Architecture Model NSMG-Net Project 3.2: Gowdemy Rajalingham

  8. Applicability of PLC

  9. Applicability of Power-Line Communications • Key Contributions • Calculated the expected data rate requirements with IEC 61850 message architecture and power network parameters • Examined the impacts of channel competition with Carrier Sense Multi-Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) algorithm on saturation throughput (T) and bandwidth requirement • Further details in poster “Throughput Analysis of Narrowband PLC in Advanced Distribution Automation” Fig. x – Communication PLC Network NSMG-Net Project 3.2: Gowdemy Rajalingham

  10. Applicability of Power-Line Communications • Summary of Results • Expected data rate with only PLC supporting advanced distribution automation is 310.69 kbps • Throughput and bandwidth requirement variation • T decreases as the number of nodes increases (higher probability of collision) • The optional Request to Send/Clear to Send mechanism can increase the T with same number of nodes and reduce to growth rate of bandwidth requirement • Existing field tested PLC technology may not be able to provide enough data rate • Further details in poster “Throughput Analysis of Narrowband PLC in Advanced Distribution Automation” Fig. x – Communication PLC Network NSMG-Net Project 3.2: Gowdemy Rajalingham
