“…Although there is an increase in overshoot and settling time, the system is able to track the set points owing to the control algorithm used. This can be seen from the first two terms in (7). These terms do not depend on the states of the other devices, thus contributing towards set point tracking in the absence of information from one device.…”

“…The 5G RAN is connected to a core network (CN). As CN is a fiber cable-based network, the delay and reliability of this RAN-CN connection is fixed and do not vary [7]. Therefore, we do not model the CN and instead focus on the RB allocation in the RAN network.…”

“…Reference [6] reviews several applications that 5G can enable in smart grids and analyzes the associated challenges. In [7], a network servicing both eMBB and URLLC applications is considered, and its ability in handling line protection through URLLC is analyzed. The results show that provided the network coverage is above a certain threshold, differential line protection can be supported by the network.…”

Communication can improve control of important system parameters by allowing different grid components to communicate their states with each other. This information exchange requires a reliable and fast communication infrastructure. 5G communication can be a viable means to achieve this objective. This paper investigates the performance of several smart grid applications under a 5G radio access network. Different scenarios including set point changes and transients are evaluated, and the results indicate that the system maintains stability when a 5G network is used to communicate system states.

“…Although the URLLC benefits of 5G network may be realized in 5G SA mode deployments, 5G security standardization (phase 2 71 ) for URLLC services is being developed at the time of writing this article. Further, Wikström et al 72 demonstrated how 5G URLLC can be used to provide line differential protection. Their research indicates that fiber based communications used between protection unitscan be replaced with low‐latency 5G network.…”

This article investigates and analyzes the security aspects of 5G specifications from the perspective of IoT‐based smart grids. As the smart grid requires high‐speed and reliable communication to enable real‐time grid monitoring via Internet of Things (IoT) devices, 5G can be considered a catalyst to transform the current power grid infrastructure into a smart grid. Thus, an understanding of what 5G can bring in terms of cyber security in IoT‐based smart grids is important for design decisions and future risk analysis efforts. In this article, we explore a smart grid use case on automatic voltage control—a use case utilizing 5G as a wireless communication infrastructure with edge support. We identify the benefits 5G brings to several security aspects, and show how 5G security techniques are applicable to the smart grid, thus providing a foundation for future security analysis of 5G enabled smart grid systems. Future research should extend this work to additional smart grid use cases.

“…For instance, fast disconnection of faulty sections of the grid reduces the energy surge and error propagation. All such uRLLC requirements can be achieved on the same mobile broadband of the 4G macro network which can be upgraded to 5G for line differential protection [28]. Permissive tripping, direct tripping, and blocking protection schemes as identified in [7] were considered based on reliability, speed of operation, security, local equipment permission, and the channel of communication.…”
