RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Study of unwanted emissions in the CENELEC-A band generated by distributed energy resources and their influence over narrow band power line communications A1 Uribe Pérez, Noelia A1 Angulo, Itziar A1 Hernández Callejo, Luis A1 Arzuaga, Txetxu A1 Vega, David de la A1 Arrinda, Amaia K1 Distributed Energy Resources K1 Meter reading K1 Microgrids K1 Narrow Band Power Line Communications K1 Noise K1 31 Ciencias Agrarias K1 3106 Ciencia Forestal AB Distributed Energy Resources might have a severe influence on Power Line Communications, as they can generate interfering signals and high frequency emissions or supraharmonics that may cause loss of metering and control data. In this paper, the influence of various energy resources on Narrowband Power Line Communications is described and analyzed through several test measurements performed in a real microgrid. Accordingly, the paper describes the effects on smart metering communications through the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer analysis. Results show that the switching frequency of inverters and the presence of battery chargers are remarkable sources of disturbance in low voltage distribution networks. In this sense, the results presented can contribute to efforts towards standardization and normative of emissions at higher frequencies higher, such as CENELEC EN 50160 and IEC/TS 62749 PB MDPI YR 2016 FD 2016 LK https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/57655 UL https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/57655 LA eng NO Energies, 2016, vol. 9, n. 12, p. 1007 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 22-dic-2024
