Simulation of powerline communication with OMNeT++ and INET-Framework

This paper presents the work that is done embedded in the EEnergy project “E-DeMa” to simulate powerline communication systems (PLC) for access and inhouse applications in a smart grid scenario. The simulation is implemented in a C++ builder using OMNeT++ and its sub module INET. OMNeT is an event based network simulation tool, and INET is a collection of common network units and technologies, so far excluding powerline. First, the rudiments of the implementations are presented - second, a real network to verify the simulation is described and third, the results are compared and analyzed.
