Abstract
In the smart grid, the G3-PLC solution is in direct
competition with other IP-based communications technologies
such as GPRS or DSL. In this paper, we present the devolo’s
500 kHz G3-PLC access technology and it’s analysis based on
smart grid field trials in Germany. The focus of the analysis
in this paper is concentrated on the following parameters: The
influencing factor of near and far transmission throughput, the
influence of a repeater on the throughput, and the influence of
different UDP packet size on the throughput.
