Novel hybrid cloud based SCADA approach for interoperability of micro-grid platforms

In the context of smart grid development, this paper considers the problem of interoperability of micro-grid platforms, particularly among research institutions. Various levels of interoperability are introduced with the respective requirements. The primary aim of the paper is to propose a suitable private hybrid cloud based SCADA architecture satisfying various necessities in the framework of interoperability of micro-grid platforms while maintaining security restrictions. Due to the limited time restriction of critical SCADA functions in the electrical grid, only selected non-critical SCADA functions are accessible to partners from the private cloud. The critical SCADA tasks functionality remains under control of local server, thus, a hybrid cloud architecture. The communication model is based on Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivery model of cloud computing.
