Abstract
M.Ing. (Electrical and Electronic Engineering Science)
This study presents a simple methodology developed to set up and establish a simplex
communication system over a power line using load signatures. Traditional concepts such
as normalization and matched filtering form the core of these algorithms. The analysis
also relies extensively on the voltage and current measurements made over a fixed period
of time on a single phase. Furthermore, analyses on the capacity of this kind of system are
also presented, taking into consideration various disturbances.
