电表的自动远程抄录(AMR)是实现智能电网的重要组成部分。PLC术因为不需要额外布线以及相对较低的成本,广泛应用于AMR统。其中,采用S-FSK调制方式遵循IEC61334标准建立的AMR统更是兼顾了高效、可靠的数据通讯与较低的设备及安装费用。本次研讨会结合在欧洲市场成功的应用介绍安森美半导体PLC解决方案的特点。

Implementing Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) Using PLC Modem from ON Semiconductor

Metering in Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is an important component of implementing smart grid. With advantages such as avoiding extra wiring and relatively lower cost, Power Line Communication (PLC) technology is widely adopted in AMR systems. AMR systems based on S-FSK modulation following the IEC61334 standard combines high efficiency, reliable data communication and lower equipment and implementation cost. This webcast introduces PLC modem solution from ON Semiconductor, which has seen successful deployment in European markets.

In applications such as solar-powered outdoor LED lighting there is a requirement for controllers that manage the charging of lead acid batteries from solar panels and implement maximum peak power tracking techniques.

Most conventional solar controller battery chargers rely on significant digital content to address this requirement. In this webcast, we will look at how the manipulation of the power stage, power tracking and battery management can be controlled with analog circuitry in a more cost-effective manner.
