“…Afterwards data signals are received by different radio dots using SMF in ring topology by exploiting network switches. The residential gateway can also distribute energy to IoT nodes and radio dots in a star topology by employing asymmetric power splitters for energy distribution [21]. Optically powering such systems can be cost effective and ensure service continuity [22].…”

We propose using power-over-fiber (PoF) in some part of future 5G cellular solutions based on radio access networks considering currently installed front-haul solutions with single mode fiber to optically power communication systems for 5G new radio (NR) data transmission. Simulations addressing design parameters are presented. Radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmission over single mode fiber (SMF) is experimentally implemented and tested for link lengths ranging from 100 m up to 10 km with injected PoF signals up to 2 W. 64QAM, 16QAM and QPSK data traffic of 100 MHz bandwidth are transmitted simultaneously with the PoF signal showing an EVM compliant with 5G NR standard, and up to 0.5 W for 256QAM. EVM of 4.3% is achieved with RF signal of 20 GHz and QPSK modulation format in coexistence with delivering 870 mW of optical power to a photovoltaic cell (PV) after 10 km-long SMF link. Using PoF technology to optically powering remote units and Internet-of-Things (IoT) solutions based on RoF links is also discussed.

“…In Internet of Things (IoT) and power grid frameworks, PoF technology provides an economic and social value solution, which enables remotely feeding sensors and control electronics in a high electromagnetic interference environment. Furthermore, smart intermediate nodes can centralize the power source for distributing energy on demand, resulting in a system energy efficiency optimization [205]. Finally, PoF might be efficiently used for fulfilling the requirements of electrical power supply in smart grids, aiding the integration of energy and information industries in a single system [206].…”

The appeal for more reliable, efficient and resilient power grids has become indispensable with the recent technological development and ever-increasing demand for electrical energy. These goals might be achieved by introducing sensors and actuators in the power grid, with the purpose of enabling a smart control of the power network. All power devices must be connected using a reliable communication network, which should be able to operate even when the power grid fails. Currently, several communication technologies have been applied for supporting this new application scenario. This paper aims for reviewing both academic and market use cases for technologies applied to the mission-critical, control networks and Smart Grid applications, such as teleprotection, self-healing, communication with control centers and field devices, among others. More specifically, the key aspects, potential technologies, main protocols and use cases of operating data networks in energy transmission, power distribution and smart grid environments, including circuit and packet switching technologies, are discussed into details. Furthermore, resilience and the main telecommunications technologies used in power grids, as well, the correlation among them, are exploited in practical point of view. The article provides a broad discussion on the best telecommunication options to build the emerging intelligent energy distribution systems, covering control networks, teleprotection, and smart grid applications.

“…IoT applications key aspects are ubiquity as well as energy demands of low-power, low-cost and small-sized smart remote nodes. The current evolution of low-power IoT ecosystems enables the utilization of Power-over-Fiber (PoF) systems to remotely feed sensor nodes via optical fiber [15]. PoF is of great advantage in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) and provides inherent immunity to surrounding electromagnetic fields thus avoiding the use of any conventional EMI reduction technique for the power distribution.…”

We propose the integration of power-over-fiber (PoF) in home networks with multi Gbit/s data transmission based on wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) in step-index plastic optical fibers (SI-POF). Different powering architectures are described. The efficiencies of different components are discussed to address the maximum remote energy that can be delivered. Experimental results show the ability of the system to deliver several mW of optical power with negligible data signal quality degradation and with BER of 1×10-10. The potential of utilizing PoF in combination with low-loss WDM-POF to optically powering multiple devices for specific in-home applications and IoT ecosystems is discussed. A PoF scalability analysis is detailed.
