Programme Highlights

 

Smart Grids are becoming a reality all over the world. Nowadays, the research efforts for the introduction and deployment of these grids are mainly focused on the development of the field of Smart Metering. This emerging application requires the use of technologies to access the significant number of point of supply (PoS) existing in the grid, covering the Low Voltage (LV) segment with the lowest possible costs.  Power line communications (PLC) have been extensively used in electricity grids for a variety of purposes and have been the focus of renewed interest. PLC are really well suited for quick and inexpensive pervasive deployments. However, no LV grid is the same in any electricity utility company and the particularities of each grid evolution, architecture, circumstances and materials, makes it a challenge to deploy Smart Metering networks with PLC technologies, with the Smart Grid as an ultimate goal.

This seminar will discuss the implementation of smart metering system by using PLC technology and the comparison of different wired and wireless communication for smart metering application.  Challenges in using PLC technology for smart metering will be also discussed.

 

Language: Powerpoint in English and presentation in Cantonese
