What is Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS)

Introduction of the Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) concept has an important role in implementing smart grids in the power utility's transmission network. DLR assumes real-time control of the overhead transmission line, based on the continuous evaluation of the actual thermal and other operating conditions, and further estimation of the maximum transmission line's load and other relevant parameters that determine operational limitations. This chapter presents cloud-based DLR systems in terms of architecture, cloud services, and cyber security issues. DLR systems are explored with regards to cloud computing in industry, applicable cloud services and infrastructures, and communication system's performance. Security and privacy of cloud-based DLR systems have been addressed in terms of public and private services. A secure hybrid cloud-based architecture to support DLR is proposed.
