New
Delhi, India, 12 August 2013 IEEE, the world's largest
professional organization advancing technology for humanity, has announced the success
of the first sponsor ballot for IEEE P1901.2頓Draft Standard for Low-Frequency
(less than 500kHz) Narrowband Power-Line Communications (PLC) for SmartGrid
Applications.䠏nce approved, the standard is intended to specify a new
generation of PLC technology for transmission frequencies of less than 500kHz
and addresses a host of existing and emerging smartgrid applications.
㗩th
this major step forward, we are now closer to the advent of converged standards
that will trigger a gigantic world market for a new breed of power-line
communications technology,䠳aid Richard Schomberg, vice president of smart-energy
standards for EDF Group. 㔨is standard also bridges the gap of
resilience-performance-cost, empowering a large value-added class of
applications from home energy-management systems to smart metering and smart
energy.伢r>
Comprised
of three foundational components簨ysical/medium access (PHY/MAC) layer, coexistence
and electromagnetic-compatibility (EMC) requirements牅EE P1901.2 supports the
balanced and efficient use of the PLC channel by all classes of low-frequency
and narrowband devices. The draft standard helps define detailed mechanisms for
coexistence among standard technologies operating in the same frequency band.
In
addition, the draft standard addresses low-frequency, narrowband PLC over
low-voltage lines of less than 1000V between transformer and meter, through
transformer low-voltage to medium-voltage (1000V up to 72kV) and through
transformer medium-voltage to low-voltage power lines in both urban and in long-distance
(multi-kilometer) rural communications. IEEE P1901.2 is also designed to
support lighting and solar-panel PLC.
㔨e
smart grid industry was in need of a solution for 21st-century
applications and services, and this standard, once completed, will allow for
the flow of technology that meets thoseglobal requirements,䠳aid Jim LeClare, chair
of the IEEE Low-Frequency Narrowband Power-Line Communications Working Group
and principal member technology staff, Energy Solutions for Maxim Integrated
Products. ㉅EE P1901.2 is intended to facilitate the growth of the smartgrid
market. Global industrial communication projects have been moving ahead quickly
based on low-frequency, narrowband power-line communications with limited,
unified guidance from standards. IEEE P1901.2 brings together all the necessary
components needed for the industry to move forward more cost-effectively and
efficiently.伯span>༯span>
㉅EE
P1901.2 is built on a solid foundation of requirements developed by a diverse
team of experts that represents all players in the value chain delivering
solutions to the smartgrid industry,䠳aid Oleg Logvinov, vice chair of IEEE Low-Frequency
Narrowband Power-Line Communications Working Group and director of special assignments,
Industrial and Power Conversion Division, STMicroelectronics. ㉅EE P1901.2
pushes the envelope of scalability, reliability, performance and security. It
leverages the most recent techniques and innovations of communications technology
and smartgrid security framework. The working group succeeded in pulling
together key experts from around the world to develop this standard. As a
result, the requirements were met by employing cutting-edge technologies and
system architectures. The draft standard is natively designed for the modern
smart grid.
