ABSTRACT

The power market reform energetically promotes the implement of the power fiber to the home (PFTTH) systems, and provides unprecedented opportunities to it. PFTTH, based on the optical-fiber core network, is outstanding in link bandwidth, time delay and reliability. PFTTH can offer intelligent control and convenient interaction, which benefits the diversity of electric power communication services. Based on the PFTTH experimental project in Yunnan Yuxi, this paper details the network architecture and the design of the whole system scheme. And the key technologies in PFFTH are analysed, including optical fibre composite low-voltage cable (OPLC) and xPON technology. With passive optical network technology, the PFTTH experimental project provides the feasibility to develop communication services, such as measurement automation, intelligent power service, internet access and network security, which are all introduced detailly.
