Abstract
The paper presents a hybrid data concentrator for Internet access control of a broadband energy information network system (ENIS). The transmission media between the data concentrator and its associated home energy controllers (HEC) are based on either a power line carrier (PLC) or a low power wireless channel for improved reliability. To install such a system, we propose a channel reliability estimation method for selecting the appropriate transmission channel. Furthermore, the overall system has been tested to justify its validity and reliability, and the specifications of the PLC and RF modules, as well as the embedded system are briefly illustrated.
