5G network slicing technology helps smart grid development

With the increasing demand for power services, the variety of services and the global energy resource scarcity, smart grid will become the development trend and strategic goal of the power system. Along with the rapid development of new 5G technologies, smart grids face new challenges and opportunities in the development and construction process, bringing new connotations to smart grids. This paper outlines the key technologies of 5G network slicing and the new demands of smart grid construction, studies the application and solutions of 5G network slicing technology in smart grid, and demonstrates the rationality, technicality and advancedness of 5G network slicing technology to help the innovation and development of smart grid.
