Abstract :
This paper presents analysis of the channel characteristics of a Medium Voltage (MV) Electrical Distribution Networks (EDN) based on predefined reference scenarios provided by the Power Utilities. Simulation results which show the influences of various parameters such as the cable (type, length, and installation), number of end users, number of inter-connections, and component outages or interruptions on the transfer function of the network, especially in Distribution Line Carrier (DLC) frequency range, are discussed.
