Abstract |
AMR(Automatic Meter Reading)/AMI(Advanced Metering Infrastructure) is actively deployed all over the world. efficient, economical, stable and reliable system need to push forward the AMR/AMI business, so various researchs are in progress. In electric power system of domestic, a transformer is connected average twenty to thirty households and PLC is possible to communication within household connected same transformer. So if server and data concentrator unit(DCU) share circuit line through communication between transformers, communication network is able to efficient. Therefore we design new communication method between DCUs and test it and demonstrate the performance. |
