During emergencies LTE/5G-based public mobile land networks (PLMNs) restrict network\naccess by normal users, which means a lack of service reliability which limits application of LTE/5G\nfor machine-type communication (MTC) in critical applications, such as power systems This paper\nshows how existing LTE/5G features can be used to differentiate MTC of devices in a microgrid from\nother MTC or human-to-human (H2H) communication and ensure that these microgrid devices have\nservice during emergencies, which enables use of LTE/5G communication to co-ordinate the use of\ndistributed energy resources (DER) in microgrids, so that they can autarkically perform blackout\nrecovery of an islanded microgrid. It is shown that this method allows the blackout recovery 100 times\nfaster than with a conventional black start.
