Study on the adaptability of 5G and wireless private network applied to the protection of medium voltage distribution network

Abstract

With a large number of grid connected renewable energy power generation brings new challenges to the operation and management of power grid in the future, the deep penetration of distributed energy makes the distribution network from the passive network with unidirectional power flow to the active network with bidirectional power flow, and the protection business of distribution network presents the situational demand of large data volume, high performance and new energy access. This paper makes use of the characteristics of 5G communication network, such as large bandwidth, low time delay and high reliability, to avoid the difficulties of traditional communication network deployment, and makes in-depth research and comparison from two aspects of demand and technology to explore the adaptability of 5G communication and future medium voltage distribution network protection servicebearing.
