2. Introduction • Communications is the enabling technology for Power System • No single communication technology as being best suited for all power system needs. • The smart grid is a new generation of standard power distribution grid. The communication infrastructure is critical for the successful operation of the modern smart grids.
The communication layer serves as the key enabler of various smart grid applications. Different communication networks in a smart grid environment can be classified, as shown in Fig. 2.2, by their coverage range and data rate.Customer premises area networks can be classified into home area network (HAN), building area network (BAN), and industrial area
The study is organized into three primary areas: smart grid and energy infrastructure, smart grid communication technologies, and smart grid security. This paper also examined the vulnerabilities present in smart grids, identifying key causes with real-world examples and proposing mitigation strategies for cyber–physical attacks. Each section

Overview of communication technologies for the smart grid [5]. Comparison of wireless communication technology candidates from the perspective of their suitability for NANs and HANs [4].
Also, IEEE Std 2030 defines the smart grid as the integration of power, communications, and information technologies to modernize and enhance the performance of the electric power infrastructure serving loads while supporting evolving end-use applications (IEEE Guide for Smart, 2011) addition, it is more than a power connection system from generation
Main communication interfaces of the Smart Grid network were reviewed, control mechanisms for the physical parts of the wind generator system such as automatic voltage regulator, and automatic
The PLC technology is considered to be the most mature communication technology for Smart Grid applications. One of the main reasons behind this is the availability of the power line infrastructure and amount of the research conducted in this area. The development of software defined PLC modems has made the implementation and up-gradation cost
The main focus of this survey article is to explore critical smart grid components, communication technologies, applications, challenges and requirements in the context of SGI 4.0. In Section 2, we provide a detailed overview of SG in the context of Industry 4.0. In Section 3, we provide QoS requirements for SG.
A key design decision in GPA''s smart grid strategy was to build foundational infrastructure such as the Tier 1, 2 and 3 networks to serve future applications and technology needs. Communications infrastructure is foundational to creating flexibility and capability for the future while serving the present needs.

The communication requirements and suitable techniques differ depending on the specific environment and scenario. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey on the communication technologies used in the SG, including the communication requirements, physical layer technologies, network architectures, and research challenges.
3. Smart Grid Communication From the previous section we can see that SGs are highly dependent on information flow and communication between different entities in different networks. Communication is one of enabling technologies of SG. As the number of sensors increase, the amount of data coming to and from the utility increases. 3.1.
The smart grid communication in terms of the geographical coverage region is categorized intoHAN, NAN, and WAN. The different types of communication technologies like wired communication, wireless communication, cellular communication and power line communication used in these networks have their own challenges in SGs.
This study provides a comprehensive review on smart grid communication and its possible solutions for a reliable two-way communication toward supporting diversified power grid applications. Existing networking methods along with their advantages and weaknesses are highlighted for future research directions.
The smart grid applications are generating various types of data like text, pictures, audio, video and many others, at different rates. Thus, the choice of an appropriate communication technology is essential forachieving a reliable and accurate application specific data transfers in HANs, NANs, and WANs. 3.1.4. Throughput
From the previous section we can see that SGs are highly dependent on information flow and communication between different entities in different networks. Communication is one of enabling technologies of SG. As the number of sensors increase, the amount of data coming to and from the utility increases. 3.1. QoS Requirements for Smart Grids
A smart grid provides a bidirectional flow of electricity and information whilst ensuring well-balanced electricity supply and demand. The key enabler for the smart grid is its robust communication infrastructure. Choosing the best communication technology for the smart grid is crucial as it involves a mixture of critical and non-critical traffic.
