Applications of cloud computing in the smart grid

With the continuous development of the grid scale and realization of smart grid in the electric power system, the demand of storage and processor resources become increasingly higher. For the current situation, I propose of the power system intelligent cloud. Under the case of the same processor and storage devices, intelligent cloud can integrate the electric power system resources using internal network, improving the calculation, storage capacity and data security of the overall system, reducing the system expansion investment, providing ideas and strong technical support for China Power System´s achieving smart grid and large scale computing. With the grid energy loss analysis which is based on cloud computing, we show that the development of intelligent cloud is of great significance in China´s electric network.
