Cloud computing based high-performance platform in enabling scalable services in power system

This paper discusses the characteristics of the cloud computing techniques and further compares the features of the cloud computing to those of the traditional distributed computing. The paper also studies the types and forms of the modern services and requirements in power systems, and therefore aiming at designing and constructing a high-performance platform in enabling scalable power system services based on cloud computing is presented. The details of the platform design including data distribution, process monitoring, data integration and resource scheduling have been fully presented. The application of the platform in a practical power system indicates that it can significantly simplify the design, development and implementation of the power system computing services and systems, which improves the efficiency of the daily services of power system.
