Power Line Communication Challenges in the Energy Internet

Abstract

Energy Internet is a new hot topic in the research of industry and academia at home and abroad. It is also the development direction of the energy industry, and it is possible to innovate the way of human life. The paper summarized the concept and connotation by surveying the domestic and international development of the Internet of Energy. The information technology architecture of the Internet of Energy is reviewed from the perspective of the integration of energy system and information technology. This article described the characteristics of power line carrier communication, and analyzed the role and status of power line carrier communication technology in the Internet of Energy. The challenges and opportunities that power line carrier communication faces in the Internet of Energy are analyzed. In the end, this paper discussed the future development of Internet of Energy. Through the “Internet +”technology though, it will integrate advanced information technology and energy systems, coordinate multi-energy networks, innovate energy system operation modes, promote industrial upgrading, and generate new economic growth points.
