PLC Cleaner for Smart Grids

PLC Cleaner for Smart Grids

Unique diagnostic tool designed to increase communication reliability readings between smart grid PLC devices in both, high and low-density areas.

PLC Diagnostic Modem MT-LVPLC1

MT-LVPLC1 modems are useful in areas characterized by low or no readings. They are accompanied with a secondary 3G/4G/5G communication channel (in addition to the PLC communication itself), in order to obtain information about the behavior of the main communication channel.

The MT-MVPLC1-LTE modem is equipped with an additional 3G/4G/5G mobile communication channel for collecting PLC network diagnostic data, which allows for even better monitoring.

Key features:

  • Data Transmission Monitoring and Diagnostics
  • Permanent Increase in E-meter Readings
  • Suitable for any PLC standard (G3-PLC, PRIME, OSGP, METERS AND MORE, IDIS…)
  • Identification of “bottlenecks” that decrease reliability of power-line communication.
  • System suggests best solution for communication improvement
  • Analytics, reporting, consulting and advisory services included
  • No need to uninstall smart meters deployed
  • GDPR friendly solution

MT-LVPLC1 Module Specifications

Hardware

  • Own PLC modem running on the G3-PLC standard
  • Sniffer, whose implementation makes it possible to read at least the unencrypted headers of all intercepted packets
  • Spectrum analyzer, which enables long-term monitoring of both, noise and interference in the vicinity of the modem, and PLC traffic (its physical level)
  • Packet generator for monitoring network load at the HW level

Software

  • Back-end: Capture of measurement results at individual points of the monitored energy network with metrics of diagnostic signals and its archiving.
  • Front-end: Visualization of results linked to already installed equipment, data on newly measured locations…

Deployment

For the diagnosis of the network condition, it is necessary to deploy about 10 modems with secondary (3G/4G/5G) communication, for a period of about 10 to 20 days, and the channel diagnostics would be transmitted to the PLC Cleaner system.

After this time, the modems can then be moved to another location (for example, according to the principles of halving the interval). Within a relatively short time, it would thus be possible to have a clear idea of the behavior of the communication channel in a given location, and subsequently deploy corrective tools, which include in particular:

  • Placing the repeater in suitable place.
  • Adding a concentrator to create a subnet.
