Here’s a frank assertion: The United States cannot reasonably hope to meet its decarbonization goals unless its electric utilities deploy modern, private, wireless broadband communications networks. Drawing that connection between decarbonization and broadband capabilities is less complicated than it sounds (Figure 1). In short, addressing climate change requires reduced reliance on fossil fuels to generate electricity and more reliance upon renewable resources, which the grid is not designed to fully accommodate. Ramping up renewables requires a smarter grid and that means using millions of widely distributed sensors to create data, applications to analyze data, and smart devices to take action based upon data. Collecting and communicating all that data requires—here it is—a utility-grade wireless broadband network.

The electrical grid is undergoing a fundamental change with the introduction of smart grid technologies. In particular, power substations have been evolving toward more automated systems. Power substation communication networks evolved from infrastructures mostly formed by serial devices to Ethernet-based digital communications networks, accelerating with the introduction of the IEC 61850 set of standards. However, this evolution inherited the shortcomings of the traditional decentralized network management. This article explores the upcoming evolution of IEC 61850 to meet the groundbreaking programmable network technologies: software-defined networks (SDNs) and programmable data planes (PDPs). Here, we describe how recent proposals leverage SDNs to improve network management tasks such as topology discovery, multicast traffic management, and quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning, among others in IEC 61850-based systems. We also outline potential improvements to critical network management tasks in power substations using PDP features such as in-band network telemetry. Finally, we discuss different challenges in the management of the communication networks of smart power substations and addressing them with the implementation of programmable networks.

The traditional approach to planning the distribution grid has focused on reliability in the context of gradual and reasonably predictable load growth. Forecasts of load growth, combined with asset management practices, were used by system planners to identify upgrades to the system to maintain or improve reliability. The decisions, typically based within load flow analysis tools, included considerations about contingency scenarios and corporate forecasts (i.e., top-down predictions at a summary level of what would happen in a particular area that could impact load growth and behavior). Today, this traditional approach no longer fits all purposes.
