Requirements analysis and application research of big data in power network dispatching and planning

It has become a general consensus that smart grid is one of the most important technical fields for big data technology application. Power network dispatching and planning is fundamental to power industry development and construction, however, massive power data is still manually filled in, dispatching method and planning design method relies heavily on experience and single data source. This paper firstly described smart grid big data and its characteristics. Secondly, the overall big data business requirements and application scenarios in energy area were summarized. Afterwards, big data requirements and enhancements throughout the entire power network planning process were analyzed. Finally, practical research projects were demonstrated, and the technological framework on big data in power network planning was presented.
