Power Line Communications Applied to Eolic Generation Under Severe Climatic Conditions

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to present the thesis plan proposal and its advances so far.
Power Line Communicactions (PLC) is a well know technique, principally in Smart Grid communications and inbuilding networks, however, actually its started to be presented as a communication solution for rural zones or areas difficult to access, similar to the ones established in the Southern Patagonia region. Nevertheless, there are no registers about the use of this technique for this application in Argentina.
The objective of the present work is to study of the techniques and communication protocols, to be used in the southern region of this country, to communicate a vertical axis wind generator installed in a remote aera, with a command and control central powered by this wind generator.

Considering the conditions in this region, it’s necessary to know the parameters, structural variables and power on and off control of the generator, in real time. Therefore it is proposed to model and implement a communication protocol and control according to the exhibit situation
