Flexible street lamp lighting system management through Power Line

The street light system, using a Power Line network, requires detailed knowledge about transmission medium, such as: transfer function, parasitic capacity, induced inductances and noise due to capacitive coupling between phases, in order to undertake a reliable master/slave communication. This paper proposes an innovative algorithm useful for a network dynamic configuration. It will allow to reduce impact noise, facing problems related to the attenuation, increasing with frequency and distance square, and cross coupling between phases, making network communication between master and slave nodes (street lights) reliable and more noise immune.
