Abstract:
Smart Grid is the modernization of electrical networks using intelligent systems and information technologies. In smart grid environment, the application of big data analytics based decision support and intelligent control are mainly in the following four aspects: power generation side management, micro grid and renewable energy management, asset management and collaborative operations, and demand side management. The objective of this research is to present a technological infrastructure for the management of large volumes of information through Big Data tools to support the integration of renewable energy. The infrastructure includes a methodological architecture for the acquisition, processing, storage, management, analysis, monitoring and forecast of large amounts of data. The development of a Big Data application for the analysis and monitoring of the information generated by photovoltaic systems is included as a case study. Solar generation technologies have experienced strong
energy market growth in the past few years, with corresponding increase in local grid penetration. The goal is to have timely information to make better decisions to improve the integration of renewable energy in the Smart Grid.
