RT Journal Article T1 A Power-Line Communication System Governed by Loop Resonance for Photovoltaic Plant Monitoring A1 Morales-Aragones, José Ignacio A1 Williams, Matthew St. Michael A1 Kupolati, Halleluyah A1 Alonso Gómez, Víctor A1 Gallardo-Saavedra, Sara A1 Redondo-Plaza, Alberto A1 Muñoz-García, Miguel Ángel A1 Sánchez-Pacheco, Francisco José A1 Hernández-Callejo, Luis K1 Resonancia AB Within this paper, a PLC system that takes advantage of the loop resonance of an entire DC-PV string configured as a circular signal path is developed and implemented. Low cost and extremely simple transceivers intended to be installed within each PV module of a string have been designed and successfully tested. In addition, an anti-saturation coil has been conceived to avoid saturation of the core when the entire DC current of the string flows through it. Bi-directional half-duplex communication was successfully executed with up to a 1 MHz carrier frequency (150 kbps bitrate), using a simple ASK modulation scheme. The transmission and reception performance are presented, along with the overall system cost in comparison to the previous literature PB IOAP-MDPI YR 2022 FD 2022-11-24 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/25920 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/25920 LA eng NO Köntges, M.; Kurtz, S.; Packard, C.; Jahn, U.; Berger, K.A.; Kato, K.
