Abstract :
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis on the application of power-line communication (PLC) on a cruise ship. The authors have developed an accurate model of the power grid of a ship when it is used as a PLC channel. The model is developed based on a theoretical approach and validated by a thorough measurement campaign. The accuracy of the model is addressed by a comparison between simulation results and measured data, and its use gives an insight into the performance of the power network to be used as PLC channel.
