[Abstract] With the development of smart grid, the electric power supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is limited by the traditional IT infrastructure, leading to low resource utilization and poor scalability. Information islands are formed due to poor system interoperability. The development of innovative applications is limited, and the launching period of new businesses is long. Management costs and risks increase, and equipment utilization declines. To address these issues, a professional private cloud solution is introduced to integrate the electric power SCADA system, and conduct experimental study of its applicability, reliability, security, and real time. The experimental results show that the professional private cloud solution is technical and commercial feasible, meeting the requirements of the electric power SCADA system.
