Abstract
In this paper, we mainly explore the application of fiber Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology in Smart Grid. First, the vulnerability of optical fiber communication networks is analyzed. Second, an overview of fiber quantum key distribution technology is given. Third, typical fiber QKD use cases in Smart Grid are proposed. Finally, future research directions of fiber QKD for power systems are discussed. Compared to other classical cryptography technology, the application of fiber QKD in Smart Grid has unique advantages.
