Choosing the suitable technology
“The biggest challenge facing utilities is how to meet both current and
future smart grid requirements, while ensuring interoperability and open
evolution among grid elements”
• Cost-effective infrastructure
• Real-time communications
• Strong security mechanism
• Future proof
• Open standards
• Strong industry support
PLC provides the required performance and cost efficiency
for the power grids

G3-PLC Alliance 3 main objectives
1. Maintain and ensure the evolution and backward
compatibility of the G3-PLC ITU technical specifications
2. Operate interoperability & conformity tests and
programs of certification
3. Promote
• G3-PLC technical features in SDO’s (IEEE, ITU, IEC, ISO,
etc.) and influence the convergence of the standards
• G3-PLC technical features and overall value to utilities
• G3-PLC in any Smart Grid applications
Value of the Alliance: balanced Ecosystem

Certification Process
The certification process
2 selected labs
Defined by the G3-PLC Alliance
•Procedures, tests plans and tools
•Choice of two certification laboratories
•Certificate issuing
Procedure to follow
•Be a member of the G3-PLC Alliance
•Go to one of the laboratories to pass the test
•Get a certificate from the G3-PLC Alliance
Test coverage
Interoperability
•Check that the specification is clear enough to be interoperable: a common
understanding is achieved
•Check that the implementation complies with the common understanding
•Perform via tests vectors exchange and plug fests
Conformance
•Check that an implementation complies in detail with the specification
•Performed via a tester against the implementation
Performance
•Check that an implementation complies with the performance requirements
14
•Performed
via a tester against the implementation
The first certificates

G3 PLC in the Field: proven performance
Widely field tested under harsh conditions by
independent organizations.
Many successful field tests with G3 modems have been
carried out proving industrial performance on all the
technical dimensions (range, throughput, resiliency,
etc….)
