Abstract
This experimental research aimed to study the performance of power line communication on the traditional electrical network in a house in Thailand which can be developed and used with Home Energy Management System (HEMS) under the smart grid system. The study found that the Narrow-Band Power Line Communication (NB-PLC) has the most suitable features for the home energy management applications. Such as, the data transmission rates between 100-1,000 bps is sufficient for controlling and communicating of the electrical devices within the network and it is not dangerous to resident’s health in the home. The experimental result has shown that the ability of communication via electrical wires depends mainly on the factors of the service life of the electric wires. Hence, the signal level will be decreased if the electric cable length increases. And found that the regression rate of the signal levels of the cables aged 1-15 years is less than the cables aged 16-30 years around 46.95%, the regression rate of the signal levels of the cables aged 16-30 years is less than the cables aged 30-45 years around 68.78% and the regression rate of the signal levels of the cables aged 1-15 years is greatly less than the cables aged 30-45 years at 83.44%. These results can be used to predict the signal level according to the difference in wire length and according to the life of the electric cable. Therefore, it is very useful to design the HEMS for a smart home.
