PLC Introduction
Power line communication is the usage of electrical power supply networks
for communication purposes.The main idea behind PLC is the reduction of
cost and expenditure in the realization of in-home PLC networks.

PLC Mission

Mission
To develop the science
and technology that will
fundamentally
transform the Power
line infrastructure to
cost-effectively high-
quality, reliable data
communications and
services
PLC Integration with Future
Networks

Power-Line Broadband access Architecture

PLC BASIC NETWORK ELEMENTS
The communication signal has to be converted into a form that
allows the transmission via electrical networks.
This is done using :

PLC Modem
A PLC modem connects
standard communication
equipment,to a powerline
transmission medium.
Coupling & Repeater
The coupling has to ensure a safe
galvanic seperation and act as a
high pass filter dividing the
communication signal above 9 kHz
from the electrical power(50 or
7
60Hz).
Project Objectives

To propose an adequate design of complete


circuit connecting two different media for data
transmission
By Integrating White LED Visible-Light
Communication and Power-Line Communication
to be used to control or submit desired
information to moving cars in public streets.

Statement of The Problem

The power line networks are not designed for


Data communication.
PLC has some impairments:
– High attenuation.
– Significant potential interference.
– Noise which is generated from all loads
connected to the grid.

10
Challenges and Ongoing Work

– Total circuit implementation and


Integration
– Max distance to transfer the signal
between different light sources
– Low cost, high performance receiver
inside moving cars
– Using the system during day light
– Using appropriate frequency modulation

11
IMPORTANT ISSUES

Impedance, considerable noise, and high attenuation are the


main issues.

EMC( Electromagnetic Compatibility), due to which


transmission of data is limited to 2Mb/s to 4Mb/s.

Transmission of data rate at Low Voltage to many subcribers


also reduces the performance of data rate to moving cars.

12
Used Modulation Technique
Depending on the target application, each modulation
technique has certain advantages.
CDMA, FSK, OFDM are most known.
Spread Frequency Shift Keying (S-FSK) is a modulation
and demodulation technique which combines some of the
advantages of classical SS systems with the advantages
of a classical FSK system (low complexity, well
investigated implementations)
Coding Technique:
A transmission scheme combining M-ary FSK modulation
with diversity and coding can make transmission over
power lines robust against permanent frequency
disturbances and impulse noise.

Part II Visible Light circuit design
White LED offers advantageous properties
such as
– high brightness, cooler operation
– reliability,
– lower power consumption, lower voltage
– long lifetime
This system does not cause or suffer from
radio or electromagnetic interference
The function is based on the fast switching
of LEDs and the modulation of the visible-

Visible Light Modulation Circuit

The need of modulation here is to mainly transform digital signal into


equivalent analogue signal

and sine shaper; a unity gain buffer
amplifier; and a set of current switches.
