Abstract:
The possibility to use the MV and LV electrical networks as a multi-purpose medium (for energy distribution/supply, voice and data transmission for the electricity company operating needs and for outside telecommunication services) is a consequence of the actual demands in the communications field. Design of a communication system respectively the power line communication networks planning mean to use a well channel modelling, taking into consideration the hostile properties of it. In this sense two possible methods for the power line communication channel modelling (Carson method and/or D’Amore & Sarto method) are taken into account. The “ParaComPLC” is a software program proposed as a useful “tool” for the analysis of the power line communication channel behaviour. The actual version of this program is addressed to the overhead lines.
