Exploiting Cloud Computing For Smart Grid Applications

International Journal of Cloud Computing: Peer-reviewed open access journal, it publishes research crossing all aspects of Cloud Computing. Basically centered around center components, including Cloud applications, Cloud systems and the advances that will prompt the Clouds without bounds, the journal will likewise show review and survey papers that present new bits of knowledge and establish the frameworks for encouraging exploratory and experimental work. The journal disseminates research that imparts progressed hypothetical establishing and functional application of Clouds and related systems, as empowered by mixes of web-based programming, advancement stacks and database availability and virtualized equipment for storing, handling, analysis and visualizing data. A scope will look at Clouds nearby such different standards as Peer to Peer (P2P) figuring, Cluster processing and Grid registering. Scope reaches out to issues of administration, governance, trust and

Cloud Computing has been a buzz world in the past few years. The use of this technology increased considerably when we made huge progress in this domain, reducing the cost for everyone. Today, Cloud Computing is widely used all across the world by a lot of companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, etc…

“Cloud Computing” is a buzzword that the IT industry has been talking about since the past few years. The future of computing is distributed and off-premise where remote servers handle terabytes of data every day. From both technical and social viewpoint, the concept of distributed data centers maintained by “server” companies somewhat dates back to 1990s where grid computing was actively thought upon as an IT requirement. Cloud Computing’s primary aim is provision of IT as-a-service to the cloud users on a utility-based delivery model envisioning greater storage availability, flexibility and scalability of IT systems.

The Important of Cloud Computing is increasing and it is receiving a growing attention in Scientific & Industrial Communities. Cloud computing is one of the top 10 most important technologies and has a greater possibility in successive years by companies and organizations. Cloud computing implement everywhere, favourable, on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications and servers) that can be immediately supply and released with minimal management effort.

IT industry being one of the major development areas, many people choose their career in it. To support all range of industries i.e., from small scale to large scale, cloud computing emerged which reduces the efforts both physically and with regard to capital investment.

We’ve all heard about this new phenomenon called cloud computing, but what exactly is cloud computing? Is it computation by a magic cloud instead of computers or humans? No, cloud computing is a popular term coined by the technology industry as storing, accessing, and computing data and programs over the internet instead of locally by your computer. Essentially, this so called cloud represents the Internet, and like real life clouds, it can’t be physically touched; rather, we know that it exists, it’s purpose, and it is quantifiable, but we can’t hold it in hands. Like weather clouds, cloud computing can be very powerful and a game changer that affect everyone. We will be discussing the impact of cloud computing, advantages and

Over the past decade, a commoditization and standardization of technologies, virtualization and the rise of service-oriented software architectures along with the dramatic growth in the adoption of the Internet has resulted in a discontinuity that amounts to a new opportunity to shape the relationship between those who use IT services and those who sell them. This has led to an evolution from legacy, hardware-oriented datacenters, through adoption of virtualization to private cloud infrastructures. The trend toward cloud computing started in the late 1980s with the concepts of grid computing when, for the first time, a large number of systems were applied to a single problem, usually scientific. In the 1990s the concept of virtualization was expanded beyond virtual servers to higher levels of abstraction,

The boom in the cloud computing world has led to a new era of on demand delivery of hosted service over a shared network. Cloud computing is a complex infrastructure of software, hardware and storage that is available as a service. It has flexibility rendering user to customize the service suited to his needs. Innovations in virtualization and distributed systems have paved the path for interest in cloud computing.

Could computing is an on-demand access to IT resources outside your own data center. The resource is easy to use, scalable on demand, paid for via subscription and accessed over the Internet. The data center hardware and software constitutes a Cloud. When a cloud is accessed by the general public in a pay-as-you-go manner, it is called a public cloud and the service being sold is called Utility computing (Armbrust et al. 2010). The definition imply “utility” model that embeds the model of electricity gird or water supply (Brynjolfsson et al. 2010).

Cloud computing is evolved from Quality Of Service and reliability problems which also gives us an idea about grid computing. Cloud computing also provides many tools and technological information to create data applications and also to compute some applications which are more expensive when compared to some techniques like parallel computing techniques.

Cloud computing enables companies to consume compute resources as a utility -- just like electricity -- rather than having to build and maintain computing infrastructures in-house.

Internet of things enables embedded intelligence system and smart ways to present things then what they did before by increasing efficiency and reliability also presenting the optimized solutions in modern environment. Number of activities and applications on internet are commonly run by cloud computing. Cloud Computing provides a platform for developing, testing, deploying, maintaining n number of services for applications. Datacenters are considered as backbone of cloud computing. Datacenters are huge mass of data containing network of computers running on IP protocol suit, routers, switches, broadcast and monitoring equipments to transfer data between servers and outside world. For this datacenters need big amount of electricity, security and operational maintenance of applications on cloud. Datacenters are run by government agencies or various private companies such as The Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine and Microsoft’s Windows. People now-a-days only need fast data for

Abstract. Cloud computing is the upcoming generation of computation. Internet based computing is known as cloud computing, where software and hardware resources provided to the user on demand. Cloud computing is new paradigm that uses dynamically scalable shared resources e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications and services. It provides different cloud services through which resources can be swiftly providing and released with minimum management efforts. In this paper, we aim to pinpoint the types of cloud, services and difference that shows how effective cloud computing from other paradigm (Grid computing, Utility computing and Mainframe). Last, we will provide an overview on the various challenges and risk associated to cloud computing that deserves future research.

To focus on these requirements, we provide reviews on cloud computing applications for the smart grid architecture, in two different areas- energy management, and information management. Hence, this paper could pave a good background for smart grid developer in decision making regarding energy management and information management.

A smart grid is an intelligent electricity network that integrates the actions of all users connected to it and makes use of innovative information, control, and communication technologies to save energy, cut cost, and raise reliability and transparency. The smart grid is an upgrade to the current electrical power structure. Meaning, on top of the functionality of our existing power system, it has upgraded with some novel specifications. These new features adds more vulnerability to the system. [2]
