Research on the Application of Quantum Cryptography in Improving the Information Security of Distribution Automation System in Low Voltage Station Area

Abstract

One crucial connection that exists between the electrical grid and the consumer is the power transmission and utilization system. The reliable and secure transmission of information across every system is connected to the protection of data privacy. The distribution automation system's data safety in the low-voltage unit region can be enhanced with the approach of quantum cryptography presented in this study. The base station layer, access layer, and terminal layer were all included in the design of the system. The key production modules on` either side of the transmission collaborated to create the quantum key that was employed to encrypt the information that was sent over the quantum key distribution (QKD) system. Regarding QKD, cost-effective and encouraged adaptable transportation of the terminal-end quantum key were realized in this study.
