The Role of Power Line Communications in the Smart Grid Revisited: Applications, Challenges, and Research Initiatives

The Role of Power Line Communications in the Smart Grid Revisited: Applications, Challenges, and Research Initiatives

Power line communications (PLC) have been an active research area for many years and it is still the case, mainly because they present economic and technical natural advantages for a wide range of applications using the existing electrical grid as transmission medium. In this paper, the authors prov...
