abstract = { As the complexity of electric systems increases, so does the required effort for the monitoring and management of grid operations. To solve grid performance issues, smart grids require the exchange of higher volumes of data, high availability of the telecommunication infrastructure, and very low latency. The fifth generation (5G) mobile network seems to be the most promising technology to support such requirements, allowing utilities to have dedicated virtual slices of network resources to maximize the service availability in case of network congestions. Regarding this evolving scenario, this work presents the Smart5Grid project vision on how 5G can support the energy vertical industry for the fast deployment of innovative digital services. Specifically, this work introduces the concept of network applications (NetApps), a new paradigm of virtualization that are envisioned to facilitate the creation of a new market for information technology (IT), small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and startups. This concept, and the open architecture that facilitates its implementation, is showcased by four real-life 5G-enabled demonstrators: (1) automatic fault detection in a medium voltage (MV) grid in Italy, (2) real-time safety monitoring for operators in high voltage (HV) substations in Spain, (3) remote distributed energy resources (DER) monitoring in Bulgaria, and (4) wide area monitoring in a cross-border scenario between Greece and Bulgaria.

abstract = {Based on the original framework of the Smart5Grid EU-funded project, the present paper examines some fundamental features of the related platform that can be able to affect 5G implementation as well as the intended NetApps. Thus we examine: (i) the specific context of smart energy grids, enhanced by the inclusion of ICT and also supported by 5G connectivity; (ii) the cloud native context, together with the example of the cloud native VNF modelling, and; (iii) the MEC context as a 5G enabler for integrating management, control and orchestration processes. Each one is assessed compared to the state of the design and the implementation of the Smart5Grid platform. As a step further, we propose a preliminary framework for the definition of the NetApps, following to the way how the previous essential features are specifically incorporated within the project processes.},
