Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing an important role in providing access to affordable, clean and green energy worldwide through the use of smart devices. The current electric power networks will be more reliable, secure, flexible and durable by implementing IoT in power systems. This paper presents a brief discussion about IoT contributions in the development of power systems from a generation, transmission, distribution and consumption point of view. 5G cellular networks have a great potential for the development of IoT technology. Additionally, 5G cellular networks can be instrumental in supporting the greater communication needs of IoT. This review provides a comprehensive analysis about the role of 5G cellular networks in the growth of IoT technology and power systems. Large amounts of data will be generated due to the incorporation of renewable energy, deployment of the smart grid and the improvements to the electricity market. In this way, in order to realize the connection between things and people, things and things and people and people in power systems, it is essential to apply IoT in power systems. In this case, 5G is providing numerous advantages to Power IoT (PIoT) by offering greater opportunities in progress and improvements; however, there are also numerous challenges with the deployment of 5G in PIoT. Finally, this review article provides an overview of the role, implications and challenges of 5G in PIoT.
