Research and application of big data technology in China southern grid

With the development of the smart grid business management, the requirements of the information sharing and collaboration in power grid are increasing. An efficient application analysis system is needed to integrate and manage a variety of information in the multi-level, large, and complex power grid, including grid model, data, graphics and etc. An integrated power grid operation data center based on the research of big data is presented. The data center has been applied to a real engineering in China southern grid, and received good results. Big data technology widely used in the power industry will bring revolution, and lead the development of smart grid to a new stage.
