Abstract :
The paper surveys narrowband power line communications (PLCs) in the context of Smart Grid and remote Street Lighting Control. The specifications G3-PLC and PRIME are discussed. The field test results and data rate measurements are presented for different scenarios. They demonstrate the problems encountered when the PLC signal is necessary to be sent through the switchgear, complicated topology, noisy topology and topology similar to simple street-light topology.
