Edge data processing using Kalman filter

The evolution of the modern power grid is closely tied to the advances in the telecommunications field. Data transmission from the field no longer poses a problem, but the large volume of data generated that needs to be handled, continues to be a challenge. As a direct result of the continuous push for digital technology integrations within the power grid, Electric Utilities have gained extended capabilities with the help of SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system and its various applications used for control and visualization of real-time data received from the process. SCADA systems help human operators to make informed decisions and integrates various devices in order to achieve Smart Grid capabilities by using a Distributed Control System architecture to control geographically dispersed assets. Smart Grids utilize a series on services and products in order to promote the penetration of renewable resources, together with control, monitoring and self-healing technologies. This paper aims to explore the role that Edge plays in the flow of data, starting from the place where data is generated until it reaches the Cloud.
