Estudiar el funcionamiento de una red de comunicación con tecnología PLC (Power Line Communications), aplicando condiciones estables y no estables a la red eléctrica.

Abstract

he Power Line Communication technology consists of transferring data through the electrical conductor. This project made the verification of the operation of the PLC device in its data transfer and bandwidth applying different electrical environments such as frequency variation, splices in the electrical conductor and connecting them to different phases, to perform these tests the data saturation was performed through a free software program called JPERF that runs it through a client and server in a time of 16 continuous hours to have 57600 data. Two devices of different brand TPLINK and TRENDNET were acquired to check whether the manufacture of the device affects its operation. In order to carry out the data network with frequency variation, an ABB frequency variator was used, with a capacity of variation between 60 and 65 Hertz. In the network with splices, an electric conductor 3X10 AWG of 10 meters was added in the extension of 30 meters. In the development of the next objective, the connection test to a different phase is made to the connection to a panel to the S phase and another R where a PLC device is connected to each phase. With these tests I can verify the effect on the networks implemented with each of the PLC devices. With the data obtained, the behavior of the network can be plotted, making its average, maximum and minimum data transfer and bandwidth in each electrical environment.
