Smart grid encounters edge computing: opportunities and applications

Real-Time High Performance Computing Platform for Smart Grid Applications

Real-time control of smart grid will require fast and accurate implementation of intelligent monitoring and decision making techniques. Intelligent methods with faster speed and better accuracy will be possible by implementing in parallel on high performance computing platforms. Such methods need to be rigorously tested in simulations before implementing in actual systems. Therefore, integratio...

Introduction to Smart Grid Applications

A Mobile and Fog-based Computing Method to Execute Smart Device Applications in a Secure Environment

With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...
