An Edge Computing Framework for Digital Grid

With the rapid development of new technology in various fields, the demand for electricity is increasing day by day. The number of devices connected to the digital grid and the amount of data generated have increased exponentially. The traditional cloud-based centralized big data processing mode can't fully meet the needs. Edge computing, a new computing model that migrates part or all of the original cloud computing tasks to the vicinity of the data source, has gradually attracted extensive attention from various industries. This paper analyzes the architecture of the edge computing in power system and discusses its application in digital grid.
