TODAY'S DISCUSSION

The recent emerging technology in the power system is the smart grid with assured efficiency, reliability, interoperability, and security. This system is facing many challenges based on constraints like advance measuring and sensing system, integrated communication system, advance grid components, advance control

methods, and advance interface and decision support. Information technology is used by the smart grid which is a planned nationwide network and is used to deliver

electricity in a secure, reliable, and efficient way. The smart grid is also meant as electricity with the brain which facilitates two-way communication, and flow of

energy and information to and fro.

In Brief

The smart Grid is an electric power system that is used as an end-to-end cyber-enabled system.

A Smart grid uses fuel source to production, transmission, supply, and end-use that will:

1.Facilitate the integration of renewable energy resources that is intermittent, and also helps

in de-carbonizing the power systems.

2. It permits secure and consistent power and information flow through both ways.

3.Facilitates effective demand management, energy efficiency, and customer choice.

4.Self-healing through power disturbance measures, and

5.Function robustly against cyber and physical attacks.

Introduction

a. Integration of Renewable energy resources into the grid

The best possible allocation and control decision of penetration of renewable energy resources into the grid helps to reduce the loss and cost of operating, thereby improving the efficiency of the Smart Grid and their sustainability.

Structuring, control issues, and optimization are essential for the development of the Smart Grids.

The latest techniques such as mixed-integer programming, stochastic programming, heuristic method, adaptive dynamic programming or evolutionary programming can be used to achieve optimization and control issues.

Features of the Smart Grid

The infrastructure of the communication should be in place between the electricity market and the transmission system, generating facilities and the system operator.

Information on various power system parameters are collected using smart devices like special monitors, smart meters, sensors, and the collected information is transmitted to the controlling and monitoring equipment.

Information is transmitted by smart devices through the two-way communication path.

The medium of communication is radio frequency communications, power line carrier (PLC) communications, cellular communication, internet through WiFi networks, fiber optic, satellite, etc or a hybrid network.

5G networks facilitate fetching high-quality services with improved scalability in the Smart Grid.

The conservative state estimation has limitations which show the computational complexity and delay in communication, and are caused due to the dynamic and the distributed power grids.

Therefore by implementing the 5G network, this can be easily ignored and also it facilitates distributed and advanced state estimation schemes.

Advantages of 5G Networks in Smart Grid

Figure 2: Advantages of 5G networks in Smart Grid

A smart grid is an electricity grid and integrates the actions and behavior of all entities connected. Three types of entities are there in the SG.

They are generators that produce electricity, consumers who consume electricity, and the entities that can do both actions.

These entities together form a peer-to-peer network to make certain whether the distribution of the electricity is efficient.

This network also helps to minimize the loss, produce high quality, and maintain low losses and a high level of quality.

Industry and Smart Grid

Figure 3 Industry and Smart Grid

There are many communication technologies like wired and wireless communication technologies that are used in the smart grid.

Smart Grid systems also help in improving the efficiency of energy sources, cost, utility, and emission.

The main goal of the smart grid is to improve the efficiency of energy, demand and supply, emission control, reduction of operation cost, and increasing utility.

One of the significant objectives in Smart Grid is the reduction of CO2 emission.

Conclusion

The 5G services in the smart grid help to create extensively and the significant acquisition of information sharing from the system at the exact timescale as well as innovative computing techniques and huge storage backup.

This offers vast support for future smart grids which helps in monitoring the access and improving the control amongst large networks.

This work establishes the emergence of the new age 5G networks with smart grids and paves the way for the new researchers to work on emerging technology with smart grids.
