Power Quality Monitoring System Using Power Line Communication

This paper deals with the monitoring of power quality (PQ) variations continuously using power line communication (PLC). The power quality monitoring (PQM) has some merits to send and receive the PQ information without any new network lines as usual as in LAN communication. The PLC hardware and softw are techniques for PQM that meets the categories of IEEE Std. 1159 are described in this paper with some experimental results. And also, this research shows that this system can be effectively applied for the power management of end user.
