Uncertainty in Distribution PLC Attenuation Models

Certain topological and temporal parameter uncertainties exert a decisive influence on the results generated by distribution PLC (Power Line Carrier) attenuation models. This paper identifies the sources of uncertainty, demonstrates their impacts with a parametric study and traces their more important design implications.
