Original Abstract

The best Power Line Communication (PLC) technology must be identified and carefully selected for Smart Metering or Smart Grid issue. Not all PLC technologies are created equal and not all PLC technologies should be judged by the poor performance of some of them. Building real Smart Metering and Smart Grid networks is very expensive and time-consuming and, also, it is impossible to install different technologies in the same environment only for comparison. Therefore, a simulation and experimental measurements in laboratory environment are an easy, economical and time-affordable solution for a first comparison and evaluation of different PLC technologies and vendors. Measurements and performance tests for all PLC technologies perform best when very simple guidelines or methodology are followed. These guidelines or methodology should be considered (best practices) for any PLC evaluations and measurements and will help ensure best results and future comparison.
