The Arkossa exclusive PLC Network Optimization Service
consists itself of a set of related services, which can be
delivered independently but should be considered as a whole
when trying to optimize the performance of PLC networks.
Based on our large practical experience and extensive field
expertise, Arkossa can guarantee PLC communication
success rates above 95%.
Example of noise within CENELEC A band
a) PLC Auditing and Certification of electric
substations.
!
· PLC Stress tests. !
· Topology tests. These tests, analysis and certifications provide, among
others, communication success rates and schedules for
optimized communication, which are useful when
scheduling tasks in order to get the best performance and
response from the Smart Meter management system. They also allow detection and correction of PLC
communication problems.
!
· Communication cycle tests analysis. b) PLC Noise Filtering. !
· Topology tests analysis. !
· Tests certifications and reports. Spectral analysis and filtering of noises within the
CENELEC A band is required to reach the desired levels
of communication success rate. Through the spectral
analysis, noise and its impact on the Smart Meter PLC
modems can be assessed. Auditing and Certification of transformer stations follows
the steps detailed below:
