To enhance power distribution network management of local power service enterprise by using cloud platform

The availability of new technologies in the areas of digital electronics, communications, internet, and computer technologies opens a door to build a smart grid, which can increase significantly the capacity, services and intelligence of power systems. This paper proposes a power distribution network management cloud platform based on Tekla Xpower. Proposed system can support the implementation of current power grid and/or the coming smart grid. Utilizing the existing computing and storage installations, cloud platform can integrate the existing resources to improve the computation and storage capacities, the data security of the entire system, and can increase application intelligence, service quality and decision-making capability as well. The four layer architecture of cloud platform is designed, and a pilot case study for DMS is provided.
