碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 電機工程學系研究所 === 102 === This thesis presents the communication module of Power Line Carrier (PLC) for the transmission of data information through the existing power line. The field test of the communication is executed to verify the communication performance and to identify the interference existed on the power line. This thesis also applies power line carrier communications to support the smart grid function of transformer management system. The hybrid communication system, which consists of the integration of power line carrier and optical fiber, has been used to report the operation status of transformer back to the master station. When the transformer becomes overload, the mast er station issues the control command to perform the remote thermal setting of all air conditioners served for reduction of transformer loading. The smart charging of electric vehicles can be applied using the PLC communication to mitigate the impact of transformer loading. The Advance Metering Infrastructure (AMI) using the PLC communication for the collection of customer power consumption and the load control of customer application for demand response is also presented.
