Abstract
The use of 5G communication technologies is broadly expanding in different areas. Power systems are a highly promising area of application, where the advantages of 5G can play a significant role. Some of the 5G outstanding features are good reliability, low latency, and low jitter, among others. However, there is a challenge in incorporating new technologies into highly complex and extremely crucial infrastructures. In this work, we present a testbed that tackles this problem by combining a power-hardware-in-the-loop environment with a 5G communication network. We present preliminary results that validate the approach by showing relevant performance indexes around 5G.
