What is the grid-connected communication distance of the solar container communication station inverter

What is grid communication?

Much of grid communication is performed over purpose-built communication networks owned and maintained by grid utilities. Broadly speaking, grid communication systems are comprised of multiple transport technologies and protocols carried by a variety of media.

What is the difference between a solar system and a grid?

The difference is mainly on how the data-signal is coupled into a power line at a transmitter and how the signal is extracted at the receiver side. Another option to distinguish is communication from solar panels towards the inverters and the communication towards the grid.

How can communications support the grid of the future?

Ensuring the reliable and resilient delivery of electrical energy is critical for the U.S. economy, which increasingly relies on secure communications systems to support grid operations. Adapting to the grid of the future requires a comprehensive understanding of the differences between communication technologies that support grid operations.

Which power line communication options are implemented in different solar installations?

Figure 1 shows typical power line communication options implemented in different solar installations. These installations can be divided into communication on DC lines (red) and communication on AC lines (blue).
