Power-line communication (PLC) is considered a cost-effective option for smart grid communication because it leverages the existing electrical power lines to transmit data, eliminating the need for installing separate communication infrastructure. Smart grid communication involves transmitting data between various devices, such as smart meters, substations, and control centers. PLC uses the existing network of power lines to carry communication signals. This eliminates the significant capital expenditure associated with deploying new communication networks like fiber optics or wireless mesh networks. Since the p....
