With the development of new electric system, the new multi-scenario electric services put forward more stringent and differentiated communication requirements. 5G communication with software-defined network (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) technologies provides an efficient solution. In this paper, we firstly analyze the communication requirements of multi-scenario electric 5G services including control, acquisition and mobile application services. Then, we propose a SDN and NFV based slice management scheme of electric 5G communication network, which aims to minimize the total transmission delay by joint optimizing transmission power and network slice allocation under the delay and energy consumption constraints. Simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed scheme in convergence rate, total transmission delay, and differentiated communication demand guarantee for multi-scenario electric 5G services.
