Wide Area Control is a new technology to maintain the power system stability; however, it requires the support of short-latency communication. The existing communication technology does not have the abilities to provide this support. It highlights the demand for new and short-latency communication technologies. The aim of this paper is to provide communication challenges of the wide area control system, to understand the communication requirements of the future energy system and to realize the existing network technologies that are applicable to energy management.
