“…Moreover, no exterior disturbance can influence the PLC channel, since the channel is shielded by a metallic housing. This allows for a detailed 3-D modeling of the PLC channel, in contrast to classical inhome or outdoor PLC, where statistical approaches are usually applied for characterization [28], [29].…”

A model of the transmission channel is essential for designing a power-line communication (PLC) system for a lithium-ion battery pack in electric and hybrid vehicles. Currently, measurements of lithium-ion batteries have to be performed by specially trained staff in safety chambers, because they might cause severe safety problems. A simulation model of the battery would therefore highly facilitate the analysis of different battery packs. Our approach is to extend an existing circuitbased model of the power-line channel with a 3-D electromagnetic (EM) model. The 3-D EM model is well capable of describing the inner environment of the battery pack as well as PLC coupling elements, which is necessary because power lines can also act as antennas. On the other hand, a fully detailed 3-D EM model cannot be simulated within a reasonable period of time. This article gives essential insights into future PLC systems for battery packs in order to ensure safe usage of electric and hybrid cars for the user and the environment.

“…In general, the line impedance exhibits a frequency selective behavior, similar to that of the in-home scenario [12]. Mismatches between the internal impedance of the modem and the line impedance lead to reflection effects that limit the amount of power injected into the network.…”

Power line communication (PLC) is a valuable solution to limit the amount of wiring, reduce the weight and thus increase the performance of electric vehicles. Basically, PLC removes the need of a dedicated wiring infrastructure for the data exchange by signaling over the power delivery cables.This work shows the potentialities of such technology reporting the performance of commercially available PLC devices designed for in-home networks and adapted for the in-vehicle scenario. Further, it provides an insight on the channel and noise characteristics and proves the robustness of PLC, a technology that is able to cope with high attenuation, large periodic noise and disruptive impulses. Finally, an application example where a rear camera is connected via PLC to a display placed on the dashboard of the vehicle is described.978-1-4799-6075-0/14/$31.00 ©2014 IEEE

“…The complex structure of the power line makes it hostile for data transmission. Nevertheless, the use of advanced modulation techniques combined with the knowledge of the PLC channel enables transmissions at a rate of up to gigabits per second . Secondly, the recent emanation of high‐lumen output light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) enables transmission over light rays by modulating the intensity of their forward current .…”

“…Several reports have been proposed in PLC channel characterisation. They all converge on the important point that the channel frequency response depends on many factors, including the topology of the network . Parameters such as grounding also influence the channel gain, but considering the indoor and outdoor PLC environments differently, the channel changes its characteristics as one switches from one environment to another.…”

“…Parameters such as grounding also influence the channel gain, but considering the indoor and outdoor PLC environments differently, the channel changes its characteristics as one switches from one environment to another. Because of the various reflections happening in the power lines, the PLC channel is affected by a multipath effect . The electrical network powers other communication equipment such as the LED supply.…”

Telecommunication engineering may substantially benefit from the integration of power line communication (PLC) and visible light communication (VLC) technologies. This integration is enabled firstly by the ubiquitous nature of PLC and VLC infrastructures and secondly by the recent advances made in both technologies, and it will be effective with the knowledge of the cascaded PLC‐VLC channel. This paper reports on the spectral analysis and estimation of the dual channel for hybrid systems involving PLC and VLC technologies. The channels are statistically analysed using the nonparametric windowed Welch method. Experimental results giving varieties of simulated PLC‐VLC channel are presented. They show the influence of the number of taps (PLC side) and the line‐of‐sight and the non–line‐of‐sight gains (VLC side) on the PLC‐VLC frequency response. It also indicates that the cascaded channel is influenced by propagation distance and room area. We also show the influence of PLC and VLC channel parameters on the gain and notches.
