Applications of edge computing in PIoT

With the depth of power industrial control system and the Internet of things and other technologies, the deployment of a large number of intelligent terminals, sensing devices constitute the edge of the network (hereinafter referred to as the edge of the network), the formation of information space virtual network and physical space entity network tightly coupled collaborative dual Heterogeneous composite power network for smart grid. In this paper, we describe applications of edge computing in the Power Internet of Things (PIoT), such as in smart home, transmission line monitoring, intelligent substation etc. The edge computing can support PIoT in edge network and reduce the dependence on the cloud center, to achieve the terminal level of transaction processing, improve system efficiency and real-time.
