Abstract :
The development of smart grid triggered more and more demand for high reliable communication technologies. Powerline communication is the only access technology that uses the topology of the power distribution network. Since 2005, OFDM based access PLC technologies have issued different products and standards allowing reliable high data rate com- munications between transformer substations and meters. This paper evaluates the powerline communication for the deployment in Germany. We conclude that the development of PLC communication network using the 150-500 kHz fulfills the requirements and offers cost advantage solution.
