Abstract
This paper outlines the testing plan and the field measurement results employed in the development and implementation of Smart5Grid’s UC#4 – Real-Time Wide Area Monitoring (WAM) of interconnected systems. As the integration of 5G infrastructure gains prominence in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) domain, Smart5Grid leverages the capabilities of 5G Networks to enhance smart grid functionalities. The testing plan encompasses rigorous assessment procedures to evaluate the network performance in terms of Delay, Reliability and Availability of Smart5Grid in diverse operational scenarios between the two neighbouring countries of Greece and Bulgaria. Through detailed field measurements gathered by the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), this study aims to validate the system's capability in seamlessly integrating distributed energy resources, optimizing grid performance, ensuring reliability and facilitating dynamic response to evolving demands and conditions. The findings from these field measurements provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and viability of integrating 5G technologies into Smart5Grid, contributing to advancements in the development of next-generation smart grid solutions.
