Wireless cellular networks are emerging to take a strong stand in attempts to achieve pervasive large scale obtainment, communication, and processing with the evolution of the fifth generation (5G) network. Both the present day cellular technologies and the evolving new age 5G are considered to be advantageous for the smart grid. The 5G networks exhibit relevant services for critical and timely applications for greater aspects in the smart grid. In the present day electricity markets, 5G provides new business models to the energy providers and improves the way the utility communicates with the grid systems. In this work, a complete analysis and a review of the 5G network and its vision regarding the smart grid is exhibited. The work discusses the present day wireless technologies, and the architectural changes for the past years are shown. Furthermore, to understand the user-based analyses in a smart grid, a detailed analysis of 5G architecture with the grid perspectives is exhibited. The current status of 5G networks in a smart grid with a different analysis for energy efficiency is vividly explained in this work. Furthermore, focus is emphasized on future reliable smart grid communication with future roadmaps and challenges to be faced. The complete work gives an in-depth understanding of 5G networks as they pertain to future smart grids as a comprehensive analysis.Energies 2019, 12, 2140 2 of 17 a need for an information system network that covers all the substations connected with the user facilities and the utilities. This provides the required system analysis with the needed reliable communication systems, which is an important building block of smart grid visibility.According to the communication standards, different communication technologies [11,12] can be classified based on either wired and wireless communications. Presently, wireless communications are preferred over wired communications for various reasons and in distinct applications with the reliability of cost at lower rates. This enhances infrastructure and provides readily available connections, even in remote areas. There are diverse factors, such as operational costs, environmental concerns, and availability of resources, to consider when choosing a proper, stable communication system. The voluminous and steady growth of communication technology over past decades is clearly explained in Figure 1. The development of new communication infrastructure with the existing wireless technologies can be more advantageous in smart grids. This provides advanced infrastructure where the need to spend additional cost and time [13] can be avoided. This establishes up-gradation of new wireless communication technologies for future smart grid communication systems [14][15][16][17][18][19]. For the past four decades-and marching towards the new wave of the technological era-growth of communication technologies has been an inevitable part of all modes of applications. To address prominent issues for developing new generation cellular communications, certain para...

-This paper proposes a multiple hops WiMAX topology to serve as a wireless communication for the smart grid. A simulation model is developed to evaluate the network performance based on the quality of service requirements of the smart grid applications in order to explore the possible solutions for the grid. The simulation results demonstrated that different service flow types affect the latency of the network. For class 1) applications, no more than 450 smart grid devices should be used to satisfy the latencyrequirement. For class 2) applications, a maximum of 250 smart grid devices can be placed in one cell in order to satisfy the latency requirement. For both classes and under the recommended number of smart grid devices, it was found that the CB-SPQ scheduling algorithm is the best for the satisfactory performance. For class 3) and class 4) applications, a cell can accommodate a maximum of 150 smart grid devices and the CB-WFQ scheduling algorithm is the best. For class 5) applications, no more than 450 smart grid devices should be used to satisfy the latency requirement and the CB-WFQ scheduling algorithm is the best. Index Terms-Smart grids, multihop, diffServ, scheduling, WiMax [4]. An example of such applications is the substation automation which requires 15 to 200 milliseconds latency. Some other applications, such as advanced metering infrastructure latency is not critical [5], [6].The IEEE model divides the smart gird applications into two synchronization groups. Some applications require to be synchronized with others within the entire network and some do not require any synchronization. The generated data is characterized based on the data burst size, the occurrence interval, the broadcast mode and the priority.The next characteristic of the smart grid applications comprises qualitative measures that are defined by the quality of information, availability and impact on the grid operations. Last but not least, data security is measured by its confidentiality, integrity and availability, all of which classifies itself into none, low, medium and high.Multiple hops networking extends the reach of a utilities energy network [7]- [10]. It also provides easy installation on existing assets and a high flexibility in the deployment options. This may improve the transmission rate and helps in avoiding the congestion at the utility center [11].The IEEE P2030 also introduced a mapping between the smart grid communication layer and the different network protocols standards. A mixture of wired and wireless standards has been defined to connect the smart grid devices in different domains.The capabilities of the IEEE 802.16 WiMAX standard will potentially allow the implementation of different communication scenarios for the smart grid. WiMAX standard can serve as a backhaul or a point-to-multipoint access network. In addition, WiMAX can provide full end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) that makes it a good alternative for smart grid communication networks. So far, few researches have been carried out to inv...

 ABSTRACT: This paper emphasis on the scenario of current Power system for the upcoming world i.e. in Power Grid (PG) now a day's Smart technologies playing vital role, Thus the term Smart Grid (SG). The interconnections of the Power Grid(PG) is mingled and complex. The two-way flow of power is caused by the presence of various distributed generation. Therefore, in future it is becoming more composite and a vast constriction to the energy routing, where monitoring of each signal plays a significant role. So, each signal quality must be improved, sensors should be placed and aided to power system. Then Introducing Internet of Things(IoT) to the Power Grid(PG), with respect to the VAN, HAN, WAN each signal is monitored. This paper presents the issues and remedies in design and monitoring of Smart Grid linked with IoT.
