Broadband Power Line communication is considered as one of possible communication technologies for the buildings communication infrastructure in the concept of Smart Building. The possible applications where BPL (Broadband over Power Lines) solution can be used for communication in the concept of Smart Building are Power Quality (PQ) measurement, Electric Vehicle or Micro Grids and Distribution Generation (DG). This article should help to determine clear performance possibilities of BPL for an implementation in Smart Building especially due to a large amount of overhead caused by cybersecurity and the protocol overhead. The possibilities of BPL were measured with five different BPL solutions. The results show a sufficient throughput on the application layer for Smart Building application, because, in the literature, various throughput limits are introduced. According to related work, there are missing measurements on the application layer for laboratory conditions as well as compared with real field measurements. In this article, we also exploit our novel idea of a broadband PLC (Power Line Communication) modem integrated into an electrical outlet.
宽带电力线通信被认为是智能建筑概念中建筑物通信基础设施的一种可行通信技术。在智能建筑的概念中，BPL（宽带电力线）解决方案可用于电力质量（PQ）测量、电动汽车或微电网和分布式发电（DG）等领域的通信。本文旨在确定 BPL 在智能建筑中的实施的明确性能可能性，特别是由于网络安全和协议开销导致的大量开销。使用五种不同的 BPL 解决方案对 BPL 的可能性进行了测量。结果表明，在智能建筑应用中，BPL 在应用层具有足够的吞吐量，因为在文献中，引入了各种吞吐量限制。根据相关工作，在实验室条件下以及与实际现场测量相比，在应用层缺少测量。在本文中，我们还利用了我们的一项新创意，即将宽带 PLC（电力线通信）调制解调器集成到电源插座中。
