Abstract

With the rapid development of smart grid, traditional cloud computing architectures struggle to meet the needs of new power applications with low latency and large connectivity in the context of big data. Hence, edge computing has emerged. Edge computing is closer to the edge of the network where data is generated, enabling fast data processing and supporting swift user requests. This paper describes the system architecture of edge computing and the principles of task offloading in smart grid. It finally concludes with a summary of existing issues and future trends.
