Abstract:
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based broadband power line communication provide better information exchange scheme for smart grid. This paper presents and analysis the design and implementation procedure of timing synchronization algorithm for OFDM system, on the TMS320C6713 Digital Signal Processor of TI, in the Low Voltage power line communication (PLC). Synchronization algorithm is one of most essential algorithms in the OFDM based broadband power line communication system. Measure based LV power line channel model was given first. Then, our synchronization method is introduced to against horrible noise and interference in LV power line channel. Preamble with special structure is used to enhance the performance of algorithm. Finally the performance on the real PLC situation is listed. The results confirmed that it is a feasible synchronization solution for power line communications.
