Abstract:
Smart Grid (SG) constitutes business and operational challenges for utility companies and energy suppliers and those are easily met by Cloud Computing (CC). From the distributed property of CC and SG it is unable to be avoided that the two methodologies will become integrated. Here I discuss about the opportunities and risks that CC gives to utility companies and energy suppliers, and consider what inseparable elements of CC may be capable of improving Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) defense for SG. A prolonged literature survey is executed to identify which DDoS defense methods can be raised by CC and used to defend the SG. I propose that, when risks are suitably mitigated, the deployment of CC is known to be overall advantage, where its inseparable elements can be combined to make the SG highly secure and help in mitigation of a crippling DDoS attack.
