Hybrid Cloud Computing Platform: The Next Generation IT Backbone for Smartgrid

This paper discusses the prospective of applying cloud computing technologies in the development of smart grid. Firstly, the conceptions of cloud computing are introduced, and then a hybrid cloud computing platform for smart grid is designed. After that, the distinguished characteristics of the proposed platform are explained in detail, following with the introduction of some potential power system applications. Finally, some notable state-of-the-art products that can be used to build the proposed platform are introduced.
