The power line rrier (PLC) tehnology [1 3], whih hs een pplie in tritionl power systems to trnsfer voie or t t high spee over the power line with power flow, is onsiere suitle nite [4, 5]. However, the hnnel of the PLC hs high-frequeny seletivity with omplex signl ttenution euse of the poor working onition, serious interferene, n lrge time vrition.

However, it nnot e esily pplie in the ring n mesh topologies, whih my emerge in smrt istriution gris, euse these topologies nnot e roken into su-networks. H. Meng [18] erive hnnel moel metho for ring topology using sttering prmeters; however, this metho hs iffiulty onsiering multiple rings n mesh topologies. A new moeling metho to nlyze the trnsfer hrteristis of the PLC hnnel of network with ritrry topology is propose in this pper, n its pplition in the network with ring or mesh topology is emonstrte in etil [19]. The reminer of this pper is struture s follows. In Setion II, the priniple of the hnnel moeling metho se on the informtion noe onept is presente. Setion III shows the pplition of the propose metho in network with ring topology; the vliity n effetiveness of this metho is proven y simultion n lortory test. The influene lws tht govern the hnnel hrteristis of network with omplex mesh topology re nlyze y simultion n lortory test results in Setion V. Finlly, in Setion VI, the min finings of this pper re summrize. 2 Chnnel moeling pproh se on informtion noe (Methos) 2.1 Network topology n informtion noes Figure 1 illustrtes the topology of generl omplex PLC ommunition network, whih is typilly ompose of signl trnsmitters, signl reeivers, power lines, n network noes. The purpose of power line hnnel moeling is to etermine the trnsmission hrteristi etween signl trnsmitter n one of multiple reeivers t given time. The network noes re ivie into internl-type noes n termintion-type noes. The internl noes only onnet to power lines, suh s C m n C n in Fig. 1, n the termintion noes onnet to t lest one of the los or the signl soure, suh s T 1, T 2, T i,nt j in Fig. 1. V S n Z S re the mplitue n impene of the signl soure, respetively. In this pper, new onept lle the informtion noe, whih n over importnt informtion regring the noe voltge n urrent, is introue to help esrie the stte of the network. Severl informtion noes re ple t the points s losely s possile roun network noe. For exmple, D t11 n D t12 re the informtion noes relte to the signl soure impene Z s n power line Line_1, respetively, whih onnet to termintion noe T 1, n D n1 is the informtion noe of power line Line_k, whih onnets to internl noe C n. Thus, t lest two relevnt informtion noes shoul e ssigne to network noe exept for the signl soure, where the voltges of the signl soure n t informtion noe D t11 re ifferent euse of the internl impene Z S. Therefore, n itionl informtion noe D s shoul e introue etween the signl soure n D t11, s shown in Fig. 1. By pling ll neessry informtion noes into the network, the prolem of etermining the trnsmission hrteristi etween signl soure V S n eh reeiver is onverte into prolem of etermining the trnsmission hrteristi etween informtion noe D S n the informtion noe relte to eh reeiver (e.g., D t22 if the reeiver is lote t noe T 2 ).

3 Le et l. Protetion n Control of Moern Power Systems (2017) 2:14 Pge 3 of Network equtions se on informtion noes Without loss of generlity, we ssume tht there re m power lines n n los in the power network in Fig. 1. Aoring to the priniple of setting the informtion noes, 2 m n n informtion noes re respetively linke with m power lines n n informtion noes euse power line must e onnete etween two informtion noes, wheres lo is lwys relte to only one informtion noe. Beuse the speil informtion noes D S n D t11 re relte to the signl soure, the totl numer S of informtion noes in the network is: S ¼ 2m þ n þ 2 ð1þ Oviously, the voltge of n the urrent flowing out of n informtion noe re two unknown quntities. Thus, there re 4 m +2n + 4 unknown quntities for the entire network. In this pper, the referene iretion of the noe urrent is out of the noe. Figure 2 shows the power line Line_k n its two informtion noes D m1 n D n1. Aoring to trnsmission theory, the V-I reltionships etween informtion noes D m1 n D n1 re: U n1 ¼ U m1 hðγx I n1 ¼ I m1 hðγx Þ I m1 Z C shðγxþ g Þ U m1 shðγxþ Z C ð2þ where x is the length of the power line Line_k, nγ n Z C re the propgtion onstnt n hrteristi impene of this power line, respetively. We n list two equtions similr to Eq. (2) for eh power line; therefore, 2 m equtions n e otine for m power lines. For Lo_1 in Fig. 1, its voltge U t22 n urrent I t22 must stisfy Ohm s Lw, i.e., U t22 ¼ Z L1 I t22 ð3þ where Z L1 is the lo impene of Lo_1. Thus, n equtions n e otine for n los. Suppose tht there re k informtion noes tht re relte to network noe C n, s shown in Fig. 3. Aoring to the si iruit theory, we n otin k inepenent equtions for this network ) noe s: U n1 ¼ U n2 ¼ ¼ U nk ð4þ I n1 þ I n2 þ þ I nk ¼ 0 Fig. 3 Network noe n its informtion noes For network with m power lines, n los, n one signl soure, there must e 2 m + n + 1 informtion noes, n eh noe is relte to one n only one of the network noes (Ds is exlue). Thus, 2 m + n + 1 inepenent equtions n e liste for ll network noes. As shown in Fig. 4, for informtion noes D t11 n D S, whih re relte to signl soure V S, the following two equtions re eue: U S ¼ U t11 I t11 Z S ð5þ I S ¼ I t11 where Z S is the internl impene of signl soure V S. Therefore, for power network of m power lines n n los, 2 m + n +2m + n +1+2=4m +2n + 3 inepenent equtions n e otine se on the ove erivtions. These equtions n e expresse in mtrix form s follows: Fig. 2 Power line n its informtion noes Fig. 4 Signl soure n its informtion noes

(6) is A, we n know tht ll elements in A re only relte to the network topology n omponent prmeters. Beuse the 4 m +2n + 3 equtions re inepenent, the rnk of oeffiient mtrix A is RA ð Þ ¼ 4m þ 2n þ 3 ð7þ As mentione, there re 4 m +2n + 4 unknown vriles for the entire network, wheres there re 4 m + 2n + 3 inepenent equtions in the homogeneous liner equtions. Therefore, the rtio of ny two unknown vriles n e lulte esily y solving Eq. (6). Thus, the voltge trnsmission hrteristis etween the signl trnsmitter n the reeiver re: H i ðþ¼ f U Zi U S ð8þ where U Zi is the voltge of the informtion noe relte to Lo_i. By solving Eq. (6), the theoretil expression for the voltge trnsmission hrteristi etween the signl trnsmitter n the reeiver n e esily lulte using onventionl softwre suh s MATLAB. Then, the key ftors tht ffet the hnnel trnsmission hrteristi n the influene lw n e onveniently nlyze. This metho is pplile to network with ritrry topology. There re few ring topologies n no mesh topology in smrt gris till now. However, in IEEE1547, prt Distriute resoures on istriution seonry gri n spot networks proposes ring topologies n mesh topologies in istriution networks in the future with istriute genertion esse. In this sitution, the propose metho will e le to solve the prolems tht there is no effetive hnnel moeling metho for the pplition of PLC in network with ring n mesh topologies. 3 Chnnel moeling n lortory test of simple ring topology (Results n isussion 1) A simple network with ring topology in Fig. 5 is onsiere the exmple to illustrte the pplition of the moeling metho in Setion II. There re seven informtion noes in Fig. 5, i.e., D 1 to D 6 n D S. Eh informtion noe hs two unknown quntities. Thus, there re 14 unknown vriles for the entire network of 13 inepenent equtions, whih n e expresse s: Z S Z L U S U 1 U 2 U 3 U 4 U 5 U 6 i S i 1 i 2 i 3 i 4 i 5 i ¼ ð9þ where i = i =h(r i l i ), i = Z C sh(r i l i ), n i = sh(r i l i )/Z C, (i = 1,2); Z S is the soure impene, n Z L is the lo impene.

The les n interfes n prt of the physil onfigurtion of the iruit re shown in Figs. 6 n 7, respetively. Figure 8 illustrtes n tul wveform from the network nlyzer. The HP8753D network nlyzer n esily etermine the voltge trnsfer hrteristi of networks with ifferent topologies. The resulting urve is shown on its sreen, s shown in Fig. 8, n the t n e esily store n re using floppy isk. Figures 9 n 10 show the mplitue- n phsefrequeny response hrteristis of the voltge trnsfer funtion Eq. (10). The tul le length n the length use in the simultion re not extly ientil, n the neglete le onnetion resistne in simultion ontriutes to the mjor mismth in these two figures. 4 Simultion n lortory test results for network with ring topology (Results n isussion 2) A network with ring topology (Fig. 11) is use to nlyze ll ftors tht my ffet the mplitue-frequeny hrteristi of the network. In this network, ll power lines re of ientil mteril with the following prmeters: C 0 = 96 pf/m, L 0 = 276 nh/m, R 0 =1 mω/m; n G 0 is neglete. Both soure internl impene Z S n lo impene Z L re 50 Ω; othrnhlosz L1 n Z L2 re 0 Ω, i.e., oth re short-iruite. In the following, the simultion results of the mplitue-frequeny hrteristi re otine using the propose metho, wheres the lortory test results re mesure using the HP8753D network nlyzer on rel network. 4.1 Chnges in trunk length First, the effet of the trunk length on the mplituefrequeny trnsmission hrteristis is onsiere. The trunk lengths (i.e., l 1, l 2, l 3,nl 4 in Fig. 11) re ientil, n simultions n tests re performe with lengths of 10, 20, 30, n 40 m, wheres the lengths of the rnh lines (i.e., l 5 n l 6 in Fig. 11) re hel onstnt t 10 m. Figure 12 presents the mplitue-frequeny hrteristis of the voltge trnsfer funtion etween lo Z L n signl soure V S. Figure 12 illustrtes tht the peks in the mplituefrequeny hrteristis flutute when the trunk length inreses, wheres the lotions n mplitues of the nothes o not hnge. The nothes our t the frequenies of 10, 20, n 30 MHz. 4.2 Chnges in rnh length Next, the effet of the rnh length on the mplituefrequeny trnsmission hrteristi is simulte n teste. In Fig. 11, we mintine onstnt trunk length of l 1 = l 2 = l 3 = l 4 = 10 m, wheres the rnh lengths l 5 n l 6 were hnge to 10 m, 20 m, 30 m, n 40 m, respetively.

Length l of ll lines etween jent noes is 10 m; thus, when the numer of rnhes is 2, 4, 6, or 8, the length of ADEB n AFHB is 20, 30, 40, or 50 m, respetively. All rnh los (i.e., Z L11, Z L12,, Z Ln1, Z Ln2 ) re open iruit, n the other prmeters re ientil to those in Fig. 11. Figure 15 shows the mplitue-frequeny hrteristi of the voltge trnsfer funtion etween lo Z L n signl soure V S. The peks of the mplitue-frequeny hrteristi slightly flutute when the rnh numer inreses. There re only 3 nothes for vrious numers of rnhes, ut the mplitue of the nothes inreses with n inresing numer of rnhes. 5 Simultion n lortory test results for network with mesh topology (Results n isussion 3) A network with mesh topology (Fig. 14) is use to nlyze ll ftors tht my ffet the mplitue-frequeny hrteristi of the network. In Fig. 14, ll power lines re of ientil mteril, n the following prmeters re use: C 0 =96pF/m,L 0 = 276 nh/m, R 0 =1mΩ/m, n G 0 is neglete. Soure internl impene Z S n lo impene Z L re 50 Ω, n rnh los Z L1 n Z L2 re 0 Ω. In the following, simultion results of the mplitue frequeny hrteristis re otine using the propose metho, n the lortory test results re mesure using network nlyzer on rel network with the topology in Fig Chnges in front n rer trunk length First, we mintin onstnt trunk length of l 5 = l 6 = l 7 = l 8 = 10 m, onstnt rnh length of l 2 = l 4 =10 m, n onstnt link rnh length of l 9 =20 m. We hnge the front n rer trunk lengths (l 1 n l 3, respetively) to 10, 20, 30, n 40 m. Figure 17 shows the mplitue-frequeny hrteristi of the voltge trnsfer funtion etween lo Z L n signl soure V S. The mplitue-frequeny hrteristis vry only slightly for ifferent front n rer trunk lengths; thus, this ftor is not onsiere in the following nlysis. Fig. 8 The HP8753D network nlyzer
