TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR REAL TIME SMART METERING VAI POWERLINE COMMUNICATION - EANDIS TESTS INNOVATIVE PLC CONCEPT IN 2,850 FLEMISH HOMES

摘要

Eandis, the largest grid company in Flanders (Belgium) operating for seven distribution system operators (DSOs), has developed and tested a powerline communication (PLC) filtering method that considerably improves data communication via low voltage (LV) networks in the upper Cenelec A band frequency range. Next to the PLC filtering, the Eandis concept also uses multiple gateways to connect the PLC segments to broadband internet.
