“…As Figure 2 shows, AMI systems are composed of meter devices, Data Concentrators (DC) and a Meter Data Management System (MDMS) [45], [47]. MDMS acquire the data from the DCs (centralized or distributed -see the different possible architectures in [48]) and organize the data in a database. The meters, usually located close to end-user premises, collect metering data to be sent towards the DC.…”

Power line communications (PLC) have been an active research area for many years and it is still the case, mainly because they present economic and technical natural advantages for a wide range of applications using the existing electrical grid as transmission medium. In this paper, the authors provide an update on PLC technologies and their applications in Smart Grids, the main challenges they are currently facing, how they can be addressed, and the current research initiatives.INDEX TERMS Communications networks, communications technologies, power line communications, smart grids.
