A Power Line Communication Stack for Metering, SCADA and Large-scale Domotic Applications
Ref: HURRAY-TR-050402 Publication Date: 6, Apr, 2005Abstract:
This paper describes the communication stack of the REMPLI system: a
structure using power-lines and IP-based networks for communication, for
data acquisition and control of energy distribution and consumption. It is
furthermore prepared to use alternative communication media like GSM or
analog modem connections. The REMPLI system provides communication service
for existing
applications, namely automated meter reading, energy billing and domotic
applications. The communication stack, consisting of physical, network,
transport, and application layer is described as well as the communication
services provided by the system. We show how the peculiarities of the
power-line communication influence the design of the communication stack, by
introducing requirements to efficiently use the limited bandwidth, optimize
traffic and implement fair use of the communication medium for the extensive
communication partners.
