Abstract

The conventional metering. pyepa.vmen,' and estimates have been used in power utilities industries. The svslen,'s hare experienced many problems such as power tampering, bill tampering, ./åiluve ro receive invoices by poner unlity customers and so on. Different technologies have been investigated To overcome the problems and recently it has been realized that remote 'nonitoring sysle•ns through powerline channel is a solution offhese problems in Tanami". However. 'he powerline network has been used for electrical power IO use i,' for implementation of remote monitoring: network must be setup and has to be modeled to accommodate communications. The contribution has analyzed 'he communication through powerline nelvvork from customer premises vvith two regenerative repeaters and CSMA/CD MAC protocol to distribulion The modulation used is direct sequence spread spectrum with binary phase shift keying. The coding is Bose Chaudhuri Hacknguem (BCH). From distribution transformer ro primary router at primacv substation token bus is used. The wireless networks have been connected IO PLC at primary router. Simulation results are p red.
