Abstract:- In modern society, energy production is one of the most critical issues. In order to generate cleaner, more reliable and ecological friendly energy, integrating of the whole power system which disperse in a wide area is very important. By integration of such geographically dispersing power system as a single substance, huge database and corresponding data/computational intensive processing is of necessary. For huge data throughout and heavy computational work in computer science, grid computing technology offers an alternative solution. Therefore corresponding research about integrating power plant control system into grid computing technology is started in resent years. In this paper, this kind of integration is described, analyzed and simulated. This paper starts with introducing state of arts of grid computing technology and explicating middleware used in this case. Application used in power system is real time critical applications. A real time data processing application is designed for power system control system. An innovative reliable backup system is also developed with grid computing technology and shows its advantages in comparison with conventional backup system. Key-Words:- grid computing, grid computing middleware, resource broker, redundant system, execution host. 1
