“…Attacks on the power grid can usually be divided into three types (Saghezchi et al, 2017): 1) attacks on the data collection system, making the control center obtain false information and perform wrong operations; 2) attacks on the operation of the power market, disrupting pricing in the electricity market and making profits from it; and 3) attacks on the smart metering and demand-side response, destroying the balance of supply and demand by changing the load status. While the security issues of the PIoT are similar to those of the Internet, they still have particularities (Demir and Suri, 2017): 1) The edge node equipment have the same high-security requirements as the control center; 2) grid data need to be transmitted in time and accurately, which is totally different from the best-effort delivery on the Internet; and 3) the computing and communication capabilities of the grid nodes may be insufficient.…”

As the energy infrastructure of smart cities, smart grid upgrades traditional power grid systems with state-of-the-art information and communication technologies. In particular, as the full deployment of the Internet of Things in the power grid (a.k.a. power Internet of Things or PIoT), the newly introduced information flow together with inherent energy flow makes it more efficient for power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. To further exploit the precious energy and the latest 5G technologies, this article boosts to add a value flow in the smart grid, mainly including the value created by innovative services and market mechanisms and the value added by the information flow. Specifically, by integrating PIoT with cyber-physical systems, this article sketches a conceptual framework of the cyber-physical power system (CPPS). The CPPS carries out holistic perception and ubiquitous connection of distributed energy sources and electrical facilities and builds up a smarter power grid with global information interaction, intelligent decision-making, and real-time agile control. Finally, for illustration purposes, we conduct a case study regarding an intelligent home management system.

5G cellular networks are expected to be the key infrastructure to deliver the emerging services. These services bring new requirements and challenges that obstruct the desired goal of forthcoming networks. Mobile operators are rethinking their network design to provide more flexible, dynamic, cost-effective and intelligent solutions. This paper starts with describing the background of the 5G wireless networks then we give a deep insight into a set of 5G challenges and research opportunities for machine learning (ML) techniques to manage these challenges. The first part of the paper is devoted to overview the fifth-generation of cellular networks, explaining its requirements as well as its key technologies, their challenges and its forthcoming architecture. The second part is devoted to present a basic overview of ML techniques that are nowadays applied to cellular networks. The last part discusses the most important related works which propose ML solutions in order to overcome 5G challenges.

“…Apart from the conventional cryptographic methods and physical layer approach, secure communication using 5G in a smart grid can be ensured by using an intrusion detection system [80]. Moreover, a fusion-based defense mechanism can be implemented in order to enhance the security in 5G [99]. Game theoretic approaches can bring new insight into network robustness and cyber security [100][101][102] The use of public communication infrastructure and Internet based protocols may lead to security threats [103] The attacker can act in place of a legitimate user in an unauthorized manner.…”

“…The threat of cyber-attack is one great challenge that the communication network should take care of. Survival of the power-down circumstances and the black start capability is the main concern for any electric network, because unavailability of electric power for even a short duration of time is intolerable [97][98][99][100]. This requires 5G technical solutions that enable switching between different communication technologies, thereby guaranteeing seamless and real-time delivery of information.…”

Wireless cellular networks are emerging to take a strong stand in attempts to achieve pervasive large scale obtainment, communication, and processing with the evolution of the fifth generation (5G) network. Both the present day cellular technologies and the evolving new age 5G are considered to be advantageous for the smart grid. The 5G networks exhibit relevant services for critical and timely applications for greater aspects in the smart grid. In the present day electricity markets, 5G provides new business models to the energy providers and improves the way the utility communicates with the grid systems. In this work, a complete analysis and a review of the 5G network and its vision regarding the smart grid is exhibited. The work discusses the present day wireless technologies, and the architectural changes for the past years are shown. Furthermore, to understand the user-based analyses in a smart grid, a detailed analysis of 5G architecture with the grid perspectives is exhibited. The current status of 5G networks in a smart grid with a different analysis for energy efficiency is vividly explained in this work. Furthermore, focus is emphasized on future reliable smart grid communication with future roadmaps and challenges to be faced. The complete work gives an in-depth understanding of 5G networks as they pertain to future smart grids as a comprehensive analysis.Energies 2019, 12, 2140 2 of 17 a need for an information system network that covers all the substations connected with the user facilities and the utilities. This provides the required system analysis with the needed reliable communication systems, which is an important building block of smart grid visibility.According to the communication standards, different communication technologies [11,12] can be classified based on either wired and wireless communications. Presently, wireless communications are preferred over wired communications for various reasons and in distinct applications with the reliability of cost at lower rates. This enhances infrastructure and provides readily available connections, even in remote areas. There are diverse factors, such as operational costs, environmental concerns, and availability of resources, to consider when choosing a proper, stable communication system. The voluminous and steady growth of communication technology over past decades is clearly explained in Figure 1. The development of new communication infrastructure with the existing wireless technologies can be more advantageous in smart grids. This provides advanced infrastructure where the need to spend additional cost and time [13] can be avoided. This establishes up-gradation of new wireless communication technologies for future smart grid communication systems [14][15][16][17][18][19]. For the past four decades-and marching towards the new wave of the technological era-growth of communication technologies has been an inevitable part of all modes of applications. To address prominent issues for developing new generation cellular communications, certain para...
