With the need for ever increasing reliable, powerful, and clean power generation in power systems is becoming a major challenge, particularly against cascading failures that lead to blackouts. As a result power systems have become more complicated, the operation and control of the power system is actually becoming a huge data-intensive, information-intensive, communicationintensive and computing-intensive application. The philosophy of grid computing play an important role in power system distributed monitoring, control and distributed parallel computing. Grid computing can provide services in power generation, transmission distribution and in its marketing [1]. A review is presented on the research which has been carried out in the last few years in this area regarding the applicability of grid computing technology in modern power system reliability and security analysis, operations, monitoring and control systems. provides sharing of computational power and resources such as data storage, databases, and hardware and software architectures, as shown in fig. 1. In past few years, this technology has gained much attention from power engineering field and significant research is being done at different places in order to investigate the potential use of grid computing technology and in order to applying this technology in power engineering field [5, 10–13].Grid computing is a form of parallel and distributed computing that involves coordination and sharing of computing, application, data storage and network resources across dynamic and geographically distributed organisations[6].
