Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to model the transfer function of a power-line network. The channel frequency responses of a single-phase power-line channel with interconnections are derived considering different loading at different branches. The model is verified using Alternative Transients Program-Electromagnetic Transients Program (ATP-EMTP). The model simulation results are comparable to ATP-EMTP results. Therefore, the modeling can be considered as a procedure to characterize the power-line channel
