PLC system for Smart Metering
Bijotová, Kateřina ; Sláčik, Ján (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with PLC communication, presents pros and cons of this technology. The thesis describes several basic standards of the narrowband communication and broadband HomePlug AV2 standard. It groups the technology according to frequency band. Also, it brings summary of commercial products and development kits which are using PLC technology. The thesis contains the description of network testing to RFC 2544 recommendation and its application onto narrowband Linksys PLEK500 modems using NetBlazer tester which took place in laboratory of Brno University of Technology’s Department of Telecommunications. The same PLC modems are used in a second series of experimental measurements in home environment. This thesis also deals with comparison of narrowband PLC standards PRIME and G3 whilst exposed to different transmission conditions as defined by pre-established measurement scenarios. Said comparison was attained by measurements using Atmel’s multi-carrier PLC kit SAM4CP16C-EK. In the closing section of the thesis the results obtained by said measurements are consulted with conclusions provided by contemporary PLC-oriented publications.

Intelligent system for remote data collection with PLC
Benešl, Lukáš ; Sláčik, Ján (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with PowerLine Communication (PLC), analyzes its advantages and disadvantages of this technology. Shows the frequency division according to the frequency range in which they work. The work includes a methodology of PLC communications testing according to Request For Comments (RFC) 1242 and RFC 2544 standards. Tests of the individual modems were measured in the household on a real network. All modems measured the same topology, and the results were appropriately processed in the form of well-arranged tables and charts. In conclusion, the individual conclusions from the measurements are always discussed. For the measurement of narrowband PLCs with multiple carriers on PRIME and G3 standards, the SAM4CP16C-EK development kit from Atmel was used. Narrowband modems, with single carrier, are represented by the PLC MT49R model manufactured by ModemTec. For broadband modems, the HomePlug AV2 standard was selected in comparison with HomePlug AV. Within the HomePlug AV2, the I2SE PLC Stamp 1200 micro EVK and Linksys PLEK500 development kit were used. For the lower standard of HomePlug AV, PLC was used by COMFAST.
