Scope

Digital:

  • Development of advanced algorithms (if necessary, using AI or Machine Learning) to identify anomalies (type of anomaly and place to intervene); determine the most suitable time of day to communicate with each smart meter; detection of network saturation at the data concentrator level.
    Analyse how to guarantee the interoperability and intermutability of PLC technologies (hybrid, upgrade compatibility and between different standards).

Physical/Material:

  • Analysis of equipment that causes electromagnetic interference.
  • Identification of measures to protect the CENELEC-A frequency range (from 0 to 500kHz), such as identifying potential requirements from manufacturers to prevent electromagnetic interference from spreading within the PLC frequency Spectrum or the possibility of requiring customers/users to allow its correction and in the most complete cases, create some mechanism that requires them to resolve the situation.
  • Analyse the impact of filter usage and consider the possibility of segmenting filters by anomaly type.
  • Standardize repeaters, gateways and PLC filters – best practices and installation solutions.
  • Analysis of crosstalk issues.
