The benefits of cloud computing, such as scalability and reliability, become established in the electrical industry or also in any company that requires an IT infrastructure. In recent times, more and more industries require monitoring and control system based on a reliable IT infrastructure. Since control systems depend on real-time data to function, it is unacceptable to work with data that may be obsolete before it reaches the control systems. Recently, the traditional electrical grid is facing similar requirements, as the introduction of renewable sources (e.g., solar panels, wind farms, and more) drives the need for enhanced monitoring. These issues are the focus of the edge/fog computing paradigms, which place services close to the new data sources to enable analysis and computation as soon as the data is produced.
