  Abstract

Since ships are steel structures, it is not easy to add communication facilities inside the vessel. In the case of wireless communication, the communication distance is limited due to the signal interference and attenuation due to the nature of the metal medium. For wired networks, physical extension of the hull structure, such as drilling and cutting, may be required when extending dedicated communication lines. However, powerline communication is attracting attention because it can use the ship power supply network as a communication channel. In this paper, we proposed an inductive power line communication for the convenience of installation and operation of the system. A nano-crystalline core with a saturation magnetic flux density four times higher than that of a conventional ferrite core was used for the inductive coupling units. In the field test using a 6000-ton class training-ship, the proposed inductive powerline communication system showed a data transmission rate of about 12 Mbps when the distance between two cabins was 30 m. However, the powerline communication system using the ferrite inductive coupler failed to connect the powerline channel. In conclusion, nano-crystalline cores are more suitable for ship powerline communication system than ferrite cores.
