“…However, the CM current flow may cause significant EMI levels [10,[80][81][82][83]. As BPL transmission is primarily accomplished by the DM currents [80], any unintentional transmission on the CM current flow -generated by unbalances of the power line cables which convert part of the injected/transmitted DM signals into CM signals -should be avoided, since the CM current flow is the main cause of EMI from BPL networks [81]. Nevertheless, as it is observed in Fig.…”

Abstract-This paper considers broadband signal transmission via high-voltage/broadband over power lines (HV/BPL) channels associated with overhead power transmission. To determine the end-to-end channel characteristics of various overhead HV/BPL multiconductor transmission line (MTL) configurations, the chain scattering matrix or T -Matrix (TM) method is adopted.The overhead HV/BPL transmission channel is investigated with regard to its spectral behavior, its end-to-end signal attenuation, and phase response. It is found that the above features depend critically on the frequency, the coupling scheme applied, the physical properties of the cables used, the MTL configuration, and the type of branches existing along the end-to-end BPL signal propagation. Unlike the older models that underestimate the broadband transmission potential of overhead HV lines significantly, the results demonstrate that the overhead HV grid is a potentially excellent communications medium, offering low loss characteristics over a 100 km repeater span well beyond 100 MHz and guarantees the imminent coexistence of lowvoltage (LV), medium-voltage (MV), and HV BPL systems towards a unified transmission/distribution smart grid (SG) power grid.

“…In this case, a balanced signaling scheme on a twisted pair (TWP) power bus can be used, but its performance depends on the differential mode (DM) to CM conversion. This conversion phenomenon has already been well investigated [9], [10]. It is due to the unbalance introduced by the coupling of the TWP to all other wires inside the harness, and by the terminal equipment.…”

“…PLNs are characterized by many sources of unbalance, since many are the devices that constitute the network: power cables, junction boxes, power strips, plugs, sockets and the devices therein branched. Some of the common mechanisms giving rise to mode conversion have already been analyzed in the literature [18], [19], [20] and we present them below.…”

Abstract-Power distribution grids are exploited by Power Line Communication (PLC) technology to convey high frequency data signals. The natural conformation of such power line networks causes a relevant part of the high frequency signals traveling through them to be radiated instead of being conducted. This causes not only electromagnetic interference (EMI) with devices positioned next to power line cables, but also a consistent deterioration of the signal integrity. Since existing PLC channel models do not take into account losses due to radiation phenomena, this paper responds to the need of developing accurate network simulators. A thorough analysis is herein presented about the conducted and radiated effects on the signal integrity, digging into differential mode to common mode signal conversion due to network imbalances. The outcome of this work allows each network element to be described by a mixed-mode transmission matrix. Furthermore, the classical perunit-length equivalent circuit of transmission lines is extended to incorporate radiation resistances. The results of this paper lay the foundations for future developments of comprehensive power line network models that incorporate conducted and radiated phenomena.
