Comprehensive Energy Service - IPv6-based PLC-IoT Technology Enables Converged Multi-Service Transmission

Abstract

As both information technology and renewable energy technology continue to develop and rapid reforms sweep across the power industry, the comprehensive energy service is increasingly important in realizing improved energy efficiency and reduced energy costs. The comprehensive energy service uses Power Line Communication (PLC) technology to fully utilize existing power lines for fast and low-cost deployment of various Internet of Things (IoT) terminals used for energy efficiency collection, lighting control, air conditioner control, power distribution monitoring, and more. This document analyzes the feasibility of multi-service transmission based on IPv6 PLC technology. It explores the service characteristics of the comprehensive energy service and the bandwidth and reliability requirements of various services on the communication network. Such services include energy consumption data collection, power distribution monitoring, intelligent lighting control, air conditioner control, power quality analysis, and demand response control in the comprehensive energy service scenario. The feasibility of the technical scheme is verified through theoretical analysis and test.
