Abstract
The implementation of advanced digital technologies in the conventional electric grid has triggered a transformation towards an intelligent network, known as Smart Grid. The associated benefits are diverse, ranging from more efficient energy management and demand response to the distributed integration of renewable energy sources. Ultimately, this transition promotes a more reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective energy supply. In this context, there is increasing recognition of the advantages of employing intelligent at edge to provide redundancy, virtualize functions that were previously in different proprietary hardware in the same device, or introduce new functionalities into the electric grid. This study focuses on conducting a comprehensive analysis on the key aspects to consider when implementing virtualized solutions in substations. Strategies have been sought to ensure the optimal deployment of virtualized nodes within the electrical sector, taking into account factors such as functional requirements, facility types, virtualization methodologies, and node specifications, among others. Furthermore, throughout the study, several virtualization tools have been analysed to determine their feasibility and the advantages they offer when integrated into the Smart Grid.
