“…Characteristics of PLC channels in cargo ships were measured in [73,74], and the authors planned as future work to model the results in OPNET by using measured transfer functions in OPNET'S Wireless LAN model. A realistic model for narrowband PLC was designed in [75], and the authors validated this model against a real-world testbed. The model proved to be accurate for PLC G3, but the authors claim that the model can be used also for ITU-T9903, IEEE P1901.2 and LOADng.…”

Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) is considered a promising communication technology in the concept of Smart Grids. This paper evaluates networks based on BPL, with a focus on the impact of repeaters in the linear topology of distribution substations. In large-scale Smart Grids network planning, positions of repeaters have to be carefully chosen. This article should help to determine such positions and limitations of BPL linear topology networks. Laboratory and on-field measurements and their results are presented in this article. Results show the impact of repeater’s deployment for different testing methodologies also with regard to other already presented studies. Measured values and the determined impacts of repeaters are later used as input data for simulation of the linear BPL topology in terms of network throughput with multiple streams and bottlenecks. These occur especially on lines shared by multiple communicating nodes. Furthermore, the simulation investigates the balancing time of multiple data streams throughput. The simulation shows that the throughput balancing can occupy a significant time slot, up to tens of seconds before the throughput of different streams balances. Also, the more data is generated, the more time the balancing time takes. Additionally, the throughput drop caused by a repeater is determined into the range of 35–60%. Based on the measurement and simulation results, lessons learned are presented, and possible performance improvements are discussed.

“…Each of the three phases is made of three clusters: Type 1 cluster (10 SMs), Type 2 cluster (50 SMs), and Plane cluster (20 SMs).The simulator computes the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) based on the distance between SMs[3] and the decision if two SMs can communicate is based on it.…”

Narrowband powerline communications are one of the core technologies for the evolution of the power grid enabling the dialogue between the power meters and the utilities. The new environment, traffic patterns and application requirements make the choice of network protocols in these networks nontrivial. In this paper, we analyse the behavior of the Contiki RPL stack, the most popular and open implementation of the IETF RPL standard. We provide evidence why the state-of-art implementations do not behave in an optimal way for Smart Grid applications and propose mechanisms and parameter selection politics that lead to improved performance during the route formation phase of the network.
