Role of cloud computing for smart grid of India and its cyber security

Abstract

A secure, reliable and economic power supply is closely linked to a fast, efficient and dependable communications infrastructure. The appliance of the cloud computing model meets the requirements of data and computing intensive smart grid applications. Using internal network improves the calculation, storage capacity, data security of the overall system, reducing the system expansion investment, thus providing ideas and strong technical support in smart grid and large scale computing can be achieved over existing network. In this paper, we have focused to distributed verification protocol to guaranty the data storage security in cloud computing. This article also introduces the application field the merit of cloud computing, such as to reduce the users' cost. It provide secure and dependable data storage center. The intelligent control techniques lift the level of energy efficient and security lowering the level of the pollution and greenhouse gas emission. In this paper, we have proposed a internet connectivity device model instead of having C.P.U. and discs, for cloud computing.

Secure Data Sharing and Analysis in Cloud-Based Energy Management Systems

“…However hosting and maintaining a private cloud is more expensive than public cloud. Ugale et al [47] focused on the security of the data stored on cloud by proposing a distributed verification protocol. Maheshwari et al [28] proposed that by using public key infrastructure one can mitigate issues relating to fault tolerance and can detect any intrusion in the system.…”

Economic Viability of Smart Grid Cloud in India

“…In another study, Ugale et.al proposed an internet connectivity device model instead of having C.P.U. and discs, for cloud computing model for smart grid applications [10]. Tsai and Hong et al presented a review of classification and clustering algorithms for smart grid to provide a blueprint for enhancing the intelligence of smart grid [16].…”

“…The limitation of this work is that it simulates the cloud for smart grid of India, managed by PowerGrid Corporation of India, which has point of presence in 68 cities. Since it is not fully evolved, so thin client based model [10] is implemented and only data from 68 substations upto the range of 585 GB is fetched.…”

A comprehensive assessment of cloud computing for smart grid applications: A multi-perspectives framework

“…Security and privacy issues in a Smart Grids software architecture operating on different Cloud environments are analyzed in [6], the advantages of cloud computing for India's smart grid are introduced in [8], the feasibility of utilizing cloud computing for smart grids is analyzed in [9] , the technical and economical advantages of using CC for SG are analyzed in [10], cloud computing techniques for smart grid design are evaluated in [11], cloud computing as a service model for smart grids usage is discussed in [12], the current research problems in the areas of cloud-based energy management, information management, and security in smart grid are identified in [3], cloud computing opportunities and challenges for smart grid applications from technical, security and compatibility perspectives are described in [13]. Table 1.…”

“…The Following studies refer to some attempts to strengthen the cloud security. In [8], authors focused on distributed verification protocol to guarantee the data storage security in cloud computing for India's Smart Grid, [28] focused on the potential security risks in power cloud construction and related security protection technologies for power cloud, [18] proposed an architecture for data storage in the open source cloud platform for smart grid applications and test performance in Openstack cloud, [7] proposed searchable encryption scheme to secure sensitive clouding data of electric power systems, and [29] proposed trustworthy clouds, clouds with enhanced resistancy, privacy and tolerance against internal and external issues for smart grids usage. Besides security, performance of cloud computing and its readiness for smart grid use.…”
