With the rapid advancement of China's economy and technological innovation, wireless communication technology has seen considerable development. Concurrently, global energy and environmental challenges have intensified, heightening the demand for efficient and sustainable energy management solutions. In response to evolving energy demands, China has introduced new standards for digital power grid construction, prioritizing the use of wireless communication technologies to improve energy efficiency and develop smarter grid systems. These technologies facilitate real-time data transmission, remote monitoring of equipment, and network interconnectivity, thereby improving operational efficiency and monitoring capabilities. This paper reviews recent applications of wireless communication technologies within smart grids, aiming to provide valuable insights for future developments based on existing literature and data. Wireless communication technology in smart grids mainly enhances the intelligence and efficiency of the grid by enabling real-time data transmission, remote device management, and optimized energy distribution. Technologies such as Wi-Fi, 5G, and LoRa facilitate key functions like smart meter monitoring, equipment status management, and demand response, driving the automation and intelligent development of power systems. Future research should focus on optimizing the integration of these technologies, strengthening network security, and leveraging big data and artificial intelligence to advance the intelligence of power systems, thereby addressing critical energy challenges and fostering sustainable development
