ABSTRACT
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely recognized as a promising technology that can enhance electric power systems by monitoring and diagnosing power system to avoid the effect of equipments failure and natural accidents. However, the management of huge amount of high sensitive data generated and collected by sensor networks becomes the bottleneck of WSNs application in the smart grid. This study proposed a framework to combine WSNs with cloud computing to solve the data storing and access problems due to the low-power, small-size characteristics of WSNs. We pointed out pros and cons of the proposed system and analyzed security issues of the combination paradigm and offered some solutions to these problems. Our efforts try to make easier to collect and access large amount of data generated by sensor nodes and guarantee the confidentiality and the integrity of data.
