Optimization of Energy Distribution with Demand Response Control in 6G Next Generation Smart Grids

The transition to an intelligent electrical network that is more respectful to the environment and consumers’ needs requires the adoption of renewable energies. However, and despite the progress made in this area, renewable energies present significant constraints, such as their intermittency. Therefore, the convergence between the worlds of energy and 5G/6G network techniques offers relevant solutions, including the use of Virtual Power Plants, SDN technology coupled with network slicing. As a way to achieve power balancing between power generation and demands, this study offers a unique architecture for a smart grid that makes full use of optimization techniques to rationalize the distribution of energy resources. Performance evaluation shows the optimization of resource consumption.
