Experimental study of Cloud Computing based SCADA in Electrical Power Systems

The paper presents a test bed platform for implementation of Cloud Computing in SCADA systems for Electrical Power Systems. The general idea of the experimental study is to complete operation tests of traditional SCADA systems on cloud computing platforms, and integrate the main application modules of SCADA systems for electrical power metering on the cloud platforms. The logical networking structure of the Control Center of SCADA systems is presented. The virtualization of the different type of servers in the Control Center together with physical networking solution of the cloud platform realization is described.
