5G is a new wireless communication technology, which is characterized by faster data transmission speed, lower delay and higher bandwidth. It is highly consistent with the needs of power communication. Integrating 5G communication technology with power grid services can effectively improve the intelligence level of the power system. This paper analyzes the application scenarios of 5G in power systems, introduces the power 5G slicing architecture adapted to these scenarios, proposes a terminal design scheme with strong processing capabilities, rich interfaces, and 5G functions, and tests the performance of the terminal. It will play an important role in all aspects of smart grid including power transmission, transformation, distribution, and power consumption.
The electric power fusion network represents a wireless core backbone specialized network that utilizes 5th generation (5G) short slicing and 4th generation (4G) short multiplexing technologies. It aims to meet the high bandwidth, low latency, and broad connection requirements of smart grids while simultaneously leveraging the extensive coverage of existing 4G networks to ensure the secure, controllable, and economical carriage of electricity services. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of the 4G/5G integrated electric power network, current methods face challenges in the user access short slicing process, characterized by low resource utilization rates and high user resource leasing costs. This issue complicates efficient end-to-end resource allocation within the electric power fusion network. To address this problem, this paper introduces an end-to-end slicing wireless resource allocation strategy based on the Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA). This strategy comprehensively considers communication delay and resource leasing costs, establishing a cost function model to conduct a holistic assessment of resource allocation. By employing the SCA algorithm for optimization, the proposed strategy leverages its advantages such as fewer parameters, simple structure, easy implementation, and fast convergence speed to identify the optimal resource allocation scheme when the cost function is minimized. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared to methods with fixed costs, the proposed strategy exhibits lower access latency and rental costs.

This paper examines the evolving requirements of power communication networks driven by the continuous evolution of new power systems and the integration of new energy technologies. It focuses specifically on the application of 6G communication technology in electric power wireless communication systems. Initially, the paper analyzes the complex demands posed by new power systems, particularly the integration of new energy sources, which include requirements for high bandwidth, extensive coverage, and enhanced real-time performance and communication security. Following this, the paper delves into the specific communication channel and bandwidth needs for multi-terminal access within regional power grids, emphasizing the challenges brought by emerging applications such as electric vehicles, demand response, and virtual power plants. The characteristics of 5G and 6G communication technologies are discussed in detail, and a scheme for constructing a multi-communication converged power wireless communication system, tailored to the new power system’s characteristics, is proposed. A comprehensive communication simulation model is developed to assess the applicability and efficiency of 6G technology in power communication. The results demonstrate that 6G technology can significantly increase data transmission rates, reduce latency, and enhance network reliability and security, thereby meeting the stringent requirements of power systems.
