SECURE AND SUSTAINABLE SMART GRID FRAMEWORK USING THE CLOUD COMPUTING

The smart grid developments turning out to a promising technology for the two way communication of the electricity and the information are becoming more prominent in the present scenario due to the increasing demands in the power requirements. The smart grid utilizing the modern communication and the computing infrastructure makes this possible. This utilization of the modern communication and the computing systems make them even prone to the vulnerabilities, mishandlings and the miscommunications and necessary for a complex frame work for managing of the power distribution and generation to make them sustainable. So the paper proposes the cloud computing for the proper management and the protection of the smart grids to make them more secure against threats and sustainable by reducing the Co2 emission by the perfect management. The validation of the smart grid frame work using cloud computing by monitoring the power distribution, management and the security achieved over multiple usages show the enhanced power management and the security services provided by the cloud for the smart grid.
