Big Data Management Obligation in Smart Grid Technologies, the Future of Tomorrow

A smart grid is an intellectual electricity grid that enhances the production, distribution and consumption of electricity across the insertion of Information and Communication Technologies on the electricity grid. In quintessence, smart grids bring profound modifications in the information systems that drive them, new data streams coming from the electricity grid, new participants such as regionalized producers of renewable energies, new uses such as electric vehicles and connected homes and new communicating equipment such as smart meters, sensors and remote control points. Altogether, this will result in an overflow of information, which the energy corporations will have to handle. Big data technologies propose proper solutions for utilities, although the decision regarding which big data technology to deploy is critical. In this paper, we present an overview of data management for smart grids, summarize the enhanced value of big data technologies for this type of data, and discuss the technical obligations, tools and key steps to employ big data solutions in the smart grid framework.
