Abstract

Background: This review paper synopsizes the recent efforts regarding the mitigation of the poor capacity performance of today’s transmission and distribution broadband over power lines (BPL) networks. In fact, this paper considers the broadband potential of transmission and distribution BPL networks when multiple repeaters are additively deployed between the transmitting and receiving ends of their existing cascaded BPL connections. Keywords: Smart grid, Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) networks, modal analysis, power line communications (PLC), transmission and distribution power grids, capacity, multi-hop repeater systems, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems.
