Abstract
Smartgrid is a paradigm that was introduced into the conventional electricity network to enhance the way generation, transmission, and distribution networks interrelate. It involves the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and other solution in fault and intrusion detection, mere monitoring of energy generation, transmission, and distribution. However, on one hand, the actual and earlier smartgrid, do not integrate more advanced features such as automatic decision making, security, scalability, self-healing and awareness, real-time monitoring, cross-layer compatibility, etc. On the other hand, the emergence of the digitalization of the communication infrastructure to support the economic sector which among them are energy generation and distribution grid with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and large-scale Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. With the future Massive Internet of Things (MIoT) as one of the pillars of 5G/6G network factory, it is the enabler to support the next generation smart grid by providing the needed platform that integrates, in addition to the communication infrastructure, the AI and IoT support, providing a multitenant system. This paper aim at presenting a comprehensive review of next smart grid research trends and technological background, discuss a futuristic next-generation smart grid driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and leverage by IoT and 5G. In addition, it discusses the challenges of next-generation smart-grids as it relate to the integration of AI, IoT and 5G for better smart grid architecture. Also, proffers possible solutions to some of the challenges and standards to support this novel trend. A corresponding future work will dwell on the implementation of the discussed integration of AI, IoT and 5G for next-generation smart grid, using Matlab, NS2/NS3, Open-daylight and Mininet as soft tools and compare with related literature.
Highlights
Digitilization has transformed our current world through the introduction of disruptive technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and 5G just to mention a few [1]–[3]
The fact remains that the electric grid has evolved from the old-fashioned electromechanical system to a more modern smart grid
There have been tremendous effort to enhance this transition with employment of several integrated solutions from blockchain to IoT, and 5G
Summary
Digitilization has transformed our current world through the introduction of disruptive technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence, and 5G just to mention a few [1]–[3]. Homes or colleges that are equipped with pervasive gadgets or equipment like smart TV, smart board, software-defined meters, amazon-Alexa, energy management apps etc., can form a cluster of wireless sensor networks and this is the foundation of the internet of things With this kind of smart customer/loads, the power utility companies deploying the generation smartgrid been proposed can effortlessly, interfaced load. From the service characteristics perspective, typical smart grid service scenarios are generally considered in two categories which are the industrial control services, this includes the intelligent distributed feeder automation and nano/millisecond-level specific load control There is another slice meet for the ultra-reliable and low-latency communication service.
