Abstract

The fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) has the advantages of high bandwidth, low time delay and low power consumption, and it can play an important role in all aspects of power transmission, substation, power distribution and electricity consumption, effectively making up for the disadvantages of traditional optical fiber communication and profoundly transforming the power communication network. However, the information security problems brought by the application of 5G technology are gradually becoming prominent. Based on this, a quantum key distribution strategy based on the quality of service (QoS) is proposed to improve the confidentiality of 5G electric power private network application scheme. Finally, the feasibility of quantum communication application in power dispatching system is verified. The test results show that the service quality of 5G private network meets the communication requirements of power grid services, the actual transmission delay of the power grid simulation dispatching data is about 1s, and there is no packet loss.

This paper proposes a distribution network application scheme based on quantum secure communication and 5G hard slicing private network.

It replaces the traditional update method where a new full key must be sent and received after each update must be renegotiated. Finally, this paper proposes the key reading mode between the service terminal and the quantum key mobile storage device, the interface protocol between the service terminal device and the quantum key mobile storage device, and the key management method suitable for the power distribution service terminal. The experimental results show that the described method can realize the automation and intelligence of the optimal distribution of quantum keys for accurate data protection of various power services.

With the expansion of the power grid and the increase of the complexity of the power system, the power grid has more stringent requirements for the security of the services transmission. In the secondary protection system of power systems, traditional encryption devices use symmetric encryption algorithms to add and decrypt communication data. Quantum keys have extremely high security. Applying the quantum keys to the power communication network encryption devices can greatly improve the security of service transmission. The quantum key resources generated by the existing quantum key distribution devices is limited, and it is difficult to ensure that all power services data are encrypted and transmitted. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize the confidential transmission of important services by establishing appropriate evaluation methods for services importance. A relative importance matrix based on the transmission performance indicators of each service was built under the background of quantum communication, so as to obtain the importance of the power communication network business, and to carry out subsequent quantum key application strategy research.
