The integration of wireless communication technologies within power distribution systems marks a transformative juncture in the evolution of energy infrastructure. This comprehensive review navigates the trajectory of wireless integration, tracing its historical evolution from nascent stages to the era of 5G and beyond. It explores the multifaceted applications of wireless communication, elucidating its role in advancing grid monitoring, enabling predictive maintenance, and fostering consumer empowerment through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and demand-side management. Challenges inherent in this convergence, including cybersecurity vulnerabilities, spectrum constraints, interoperability issues, and reliability concerns, are critically examined. Strategic solutions, encompassing robust cybersecurity measures, spectrum management strategies, and standardization efforts, are proposed to navigate these challenges and ensure the seamless assimilation of wireless communication into power distribution systems. Looking towards the future, the article envisions transformative perspectives and emerging trends. The convergence of 5G networks, edge computing, AI-driven analytics, and blockchain technologies is poised to revolutionize grid management, enhance grid resilience, and foster decentralized energy ecosystems. This transformative synergy
not only amplifies grid efficiency but also paves the way for a future where energy infrastructure is dynamic, responsive, and sustainable. In essence, this review underscores the transformative potential of wireless integration, emphasizing collaborative endeavours, innovation, and strategic planning as pivotal drivers in realizing a resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy landscape.
