POWER LINE CARRIER COMMUNICATION

The method involves superposition of radio frequency channel on a power circuit without interference of or from power system
Carriers used in PLCC system - RF currents of the frequencies between 30 kHz and 500 kHz. Low Frequency limitation of 30 kHz : Harmonics, Switching and Lightening Surges, Corona present in the frequency band of 100Hz to 30 KHz. Signal to Noise Ratio will be quite poor. Difficult to separate power & radio frequency components (mv) Cost of Coupling Equipment is high High frequency limitation of 500KHz : High Radiation losses. Sanjay Patel (Junior Increase of Interference to and from other services. Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO

Modulation

Process whereby the amplitude or frequency or phase of a carrier wave is varied as a function of the instantaneous value of another wave.
Sanjay Patel (Junior Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO 4

Amplitude Modulation

The Amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the instantaneous value of the signal.
Sanjay Patel (Junior Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO 5

Frequency Modulation

The instantaneous frequency of the carrier wave is varied as a Sanjay Patel (Junior 6 Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO function of the instantaneous value of the modulation signal.

PRINCIPLE OF TESTING Modern testing practices emphasizes on DEMONSTRATION and DETECTION, but also recognizes that many maybe even most major defects are rooted in requirements and design misunderstandings, omissions, and inconsistencies which can be overcome using PREVENTION. Demonstration, detection, and prevention important objectives and benefits of good testing. are

Tests must be planned and designed systematically.


Sanjay Patel (Junior Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO 70

Teleprotection
Teleprotection required for high speed relaying which is facilitated by: Comparing fault conditions at line terminal High speed simultaneous clearing of faults from both ends of the faulty section Blocking unwarranted isolation in the event of fault in the line section.
Sanjay Patel (Junior Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO 71

Teleprotection
Phase Comparison Scheme : Carrier is employed to compare the phase relation between current entering one terminal of a transmission line section and leaving another

Trip Transfer Scheme : With the initiation of tripping of a line at one end, a signal is sent out over the carrier simultaneously to the other end and cause remote end beaker also to trip.

Directional Comparison Scheme : A Blocking signal is sent out in the opposite direction of fault to prevent tripping of the remote end circuit breaker Sanjay Patel (Junior 72 which is also sensing the fault. Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO

Teleprotection
Criteria for Selection of Teleprotection
Reliability Security Transmission Time Information signal should be of sufficient strength to overcome any line disturbance
Sanjay Patel (Junior Engineer,Telecom) Jambuva,GETCO 75

Intertripping Criteria
The 3 main characteristics of intertripping are :
Transfer time : During a fault, damage incurred to HV equipment will depend on the fault clearance time. The transfer time of the intertripping equipment, (the time between the acquisition of a protection signal to its restitution at the other end), must therefore be as short as possible to minimize the fault clearance time. Reliability/Dependability : Since the communication can be altered by noise due to the high voltage environment, the intertripping signal shall be transmitted in a way to minimize the risk of losing a command that would lead to the non functioning of the fault clearance process. This value is expressed as the Probability of Missing command Pmc.

Security : Since intertripping is often used to protect strategic lines on which a shutdown would have heavy consequences, the intertripping has to ensure that a command that can disconnect an HV line is a TRUE command and not due to noise coming from the HV environment. This value is expressed as the probability of unwanted command Puc for the worst-case being with the highest noise .
