Abstract
The power grid is evolving into the Smart Grid,
by incorporating Information and Communication Technologies
(ICT) and new functionalities. Some of the Smart Grid functionalities,
such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and
Demand Response (DR), require information about customers’
energy consumption and production. Power Line Communication
(PLC) is a candidate technology for connecting the customers
and utilities as it is easy to deploy and has extensive coverage.
ITU-T G.hnem standard defines a narrowband PLC, which
was specially designed for Smart Grid applications. This paper
proposes a PLC network architecture following the G.hnem
standard, which enables bi-directional communication among
customers and utilities.
