In recent years, the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) has been building a strong smart grid to improve the security level of the power grid. By implementing the Internet+ strategy, the SGCC comprehensively improves the informatization and intelligence of the power grid and fully utilizes modern information communication technologies and control technologies. This achieves effective security, clean energy, close coordination, and intelligent development of the power grid and provides reliable power for economic and social development. With the rapid development of power consumption information collection, distribution automation, distributed energy access, electric vehicle services, and bidirectional user interaction, the communication requirements of various power grid devices,
power terminals, and customers are rapidly increasing. New real-time, stable, reliable, and efficient communication technologies and systems, suitable for the electric power industry, are urgently needed for monitoring the status of and collecting information about intelligent devices and triggering new working modes and power service modes.
4G changes lives, but 5G changes societies. Vertical industries represented by power grid will complete digital transformation in the 5G era. "Industry 4.0" of Germany and "Made in China 2025" both require fast network connections. 5G networks will bring better bandwidth experience and enable vertical industries. In the 5G era, diversified vertical industry applications will bring more extensive requirements for mobile networks. Ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and an ultra large number of connections will change the operating and working modes of core services in vertical industries, improving the operational efficiency and decision-making intelligence of traditional vertical industries. Network slicing emerges from this background. It provides agile and customizable capabilities that allow the construction of dedicated networks for different applications.
Intelligence technologies represented by artificial intelligence (AI) are driving the fourth industrial revolution. Electricity is the blood of industrialization, and network connections are the nerves. The combination of power grids and 5G networks will provide a solid foundation for the intelligent industrial revolution and help "Made in China 2025" to achieve its target.
Smart grid is the basis of smart energy and is important for promoting economic and social coordination and sustainable development. It provides strong support for a better life, cleaner environment, and more harmonious society. This helps refine energy management and enables
transformation to clean energy and electrical energy
