Communication can improve control of important system parameters by allowing different grid components to communicate their states with each other. This information exchange requires a reliable and fast communication infrastructure. 5G communication can be a viable means to achieve this objective. This paper investigates the performance of several smart grid applications under a 5G radio access network. Different scenarios including set point changes and transients are evaluated, and the results indicate that the system maintains stability when a 5Gnetwork is used to communicate system states.
