The new era will be of Smart Grid in comparison with existing electricity grid.Smart grid is a
combination of electricity grid and communication infrastructure. To give sustainable
electricity supply, Smart grid connects with all the connected components to form a logical
power network. To increase the effectiveness of power grid many sophisticated
communication technologies have been recognized. These communication technologies
increase the efficiency taken as a whole of electrical grid.This paper details the relevance
and challenges of various communication technologies. Two major challenges have been
found for implementing smart grid technology, first is standard inter operability and
cognitive access to unlicensed radio spectrum. Paper also discusses the problems to
implement smart grid communication on an evolutional path. Recent and future trends in
Smart grid are elaborated. The paper provides the broad review of state of art research
available on Smart grid communication.
