About PLCAbout PLC
n The electrical wiring medium was originally devised for transmission of power at 50-60 Hz !!
n Electrical appliances introduce a variety of noise signals and interferences such as carrier wave signals, spikes, pulses, bursts and more.
n Signal attenuation at frequencies that can be utilized for PLC is fairly high.
n Conclusion – Reliable and robust modem, yet low cost, is a MUST to enable ubiquitous networking and control using PLC.
n PLC is a “No New Wires” technology, which uses the standard existing electrical wiring as the physical medium for communication.

Why Should Power Utilities Use PLC ?Why Should Power Utilities Use PLC ?n Power Utilities are privatized and de-regulated.
n Competition for power, creates the need for lowering cost and increase of revenue.
n The increase in public demand for energy creates the need for Energy Saving and Energy Management procedures.
n Utilities can lower cost by reading meters remotely, charging according to time of use or according to level of power used, automating power failure recovery and lowering the investments in new power stations. In some areas of the world, 30% and more of the electricity is stolen. AMR is used to detect electricity looting.
n Utilities can increase revenue by offering more services to the customers (besides just offering power).
n The above points create a need for communication, i.e. creating a “Smart Grid”to enable the utility to reach every point on the grid remotely.
n Powerline Communications is the most convenient and cost effective means of communications for Power Utilities, which owns the power grid.

Examples of PLC AMR Projects:Examples of PLC AMR Projects:
n The worldwide potential market for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is about 1B meters. Almost EVERY power utility in the world is under pilots or trials to use AMR. The estimate is that most will use PLC. Some will use wireless.
n Italy power utility ENEL installed 27M PLC AMR meters (ended in 2005).
n Sweden Utilities start replacing meters under law (first project launched in 2006). The first 700K meters are installed by the Vattenfall utility.
n Dutch Utility (Nuon) is under final tender before installing several million AMR meters. In 6 years ALL meters will have to be replaced in the Netherlands.
n Spain Utility ENDESA is under final preparations before starting its AMR deployment in 2007-2008.
n ENDESA, which owns utilities in South America, will deploy AMR there starting in 2008.
n TXU Electric, one of the largest electric utilities in the US is deploying PLC for smart greed purposes. They are working with Current Communications Inc.
n Several hundred thousand AMR meters are installed in China. In the coming years this will increase to mass deployment.
n Similar projects are taking place in India and other countries.
