About This Item
IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 is an IEEE draft standard for low frequency, less than 500 kHz, narrow band power line communications for smart grid applications. It is relevant to designers and engineers working with communication over power networks where bandwidth is limited and reliability matters. As a draft technical document, IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 helps define a common framework for interoperable signaling, supporting more consistent planning, implementation, and review in smart grid communication systems.
What is IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013?
This standard addresses narrow band power line communications in the low-frequency range, typically below 500 kHz, for smart grid environments. It is intended to support technical alignment for communication over existing electrical wiring, where the power network also serves as the transmission path. IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 is therefore relevant to specification review, equipment development, and compliance discussions involving power-line-based data exchange in utility-oriented systems.
Where is IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 used?
IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 is used in smart grid communication scenarios where low-frequency narrow band signaling must travel through power infrastructure. Typical contexts may include utility meters, distribution equipment, field devices, and control or monitoring nodes connected through power lines. It is especially useful where cabling constraints, network reach, and robust data delivery are important. The standard can also support engineering workflows for evaluating communication behavior in power, energy, and industrial system deployments.
Why is IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 important?
This draft standard matters because it helps create a clearer technical basis for power line communications in smart grid applications. By defining a shared approach, IEEE P1901.2/D0.10.00, August 2013 can reduce design uncertainty, support procurement decisions, and improve consistency during testing and integration. It is also useful for comparing device capabilities and verifying that communication equipment is aligned with the intended low-frequency narrow band operating environment.
