Abstract:Future grid will be a highly automated, intelligent grid, to ensure the safety and stability for the system in a great degree while providing a green low-carbon clean power,users can participate in the whole power distribution process of entire grid based on the real-time power information, a variety of distributed renewable power access the system in a diversified pattern, so large complex system which from the power generation, transmission to substation, distribution and application process generating massive energy information and equipment running data at all times, which requires a powerful information processing platform as a support, and this platform should have a reliable storage of huge amounts of data, accurate analysis, real-time synchronization updates and sharing functions, especially analysis and processing for audio and video heterogeneous data, information processing platform like the nerve center of the grid,has an essential role in ensuring the stable operation and maximize efficiency for the power grid. Cloud computing technology has unique advantages in large data processing,this paper introduced the cloud computing technology into the future smart grid information processing platform, did an in-depth discussion faced the various functions of the future smart grid information processing platform and compared with the bottlenecks of current grid information processing platform, proved the feasibility that cloud computing technology will be applied to the future smart grid information processing platform.
