Abstract

Recent developments in power-line communication (PLC) based power automation and security systems are transforming into smart automation for low-voltage building network applications. This paper presents reliability and survivability analysis of G3-PLC compliant modems that aims to develop working pilot models for security as well as for complete NIT Kurukshetra campus buildings automation. In order to verify the proposed hardware design and implementation of G3-PLC system along with necessary theoretical background. Development of G3-PLC based virtual instrument to run-time couple local/remote monitoring and control of the building has been major outcome. The presented proposed design with open source platform, which is re-usable with requirement based customization, simple, user-friendly and validated through implementation. The system based on this logic can also be used for smart metrology meter (SMM) applications (i.e. metrological functions and real-time monitoring functions) and an effective tool for connecting the global consumers through energy efficiency and awareness corridor.
