“…The network is configured with a smart metering profile with ARQ, and carries metering traffic (short cycles are used, as described in [66]); a graphical representation of the PLC channel occupation is shown in Figure 7. The plot represents a ITU-T G.9904 superframe (time in X axis), where blue triangles (pointing up equal to uplink, and pointing down equal to downlink) are data packets, and red ones control traffic (the crosses show packets in the network that do not belong to the switching level that the BN can listen to-they are behind the device acting as a switch-but are somehow decoded even with invalid cyclic redundancy check (CRC)).…”

Powerline communications (PLC)-based smart meter deployments are now a reality in many regions of the world. Although PLC elements are generally incorporated in smart meters and data concentrators, the underlying PLC network allows the integration of other smart grid services directly over it. The remote control capabilities that automation programs need and are today deployed over their medium voltage (MV) grid, can be extended to the low voltage (LV) grid through these existing PLC networks. This paper demonstrates the capabilities of narrowband high data rate (NB HDR) PLC technologies deployed over LV grids for smart metering purposes to support internet protocol internet protocol (IP) communications in the LV grid. The paper demonstrates these possibilities with the presentation of the simulation and laboratory results of IP communications over international telecommunication union: ITU-T G.9904 PLC technology, and the definition of a PLC Network Management System based on a simple network management protocol (SNMP) management information base (MIB) definition and applicable use cases.

“…o SS Categorization: Once we have enough networks deployed and analyzed, it is possible to categorize them and predict (always considering possible deviations caused by particular problems of the network) expected behavior of each network taking into account its electrical grid characteristics. For these purposes, two electrical parameters are used: number of Points of Supply (meters in the network) and concentration level of these meters in CGP's, also called density of Points of Supply [15]. The categorization with these two parameters is shown in Table II: …”

Abstract. This paper describes the process followed to assess the performance of Smart Metering PLC networks based on PRIME specification. This process is composed of a monitoring phase dedicated to obtain data from the network (Communication level and Application level), and an analysis phase which produces a standardized report for each Secondary Substation with the relevant performance data correlated with electricity grid information. The paper includes also a section identifying different specific abnormal behaviours in PLC Smart Meters, working in the grid.

“…PRIME system is being deployed extensively by Iberdrola in Spain [98]. PRIME technology evolution, from inception to field performance tests, can be followed in [68] where initial ideas are presented, and [36,99,100] covering the evolution of PRIME technology, from the early dates of PRIME's first implementation with interoperability assurance, to the first demonstration deployments, and the full deployment (over 100,000 smart meters) of a complete Smart Metering solution. Regarding the G3 system, references to small-scale field tests can be found [101][102][103][104], but no massive deployment result is known to date.…”
