Abstract
Cloud computing and cloud infrastructure are beginning to be applied in order to ensure effective functioning of management system of Critical Energy Infrastructure. This is improved informativeness of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system by the application of additional Wide-area Measurement and Control Systems (WAMCSs), since most of all processing and transition operations of data information streams of the WAMCSs may be performed by using on clouds. In light of these circumstances, it is importantly to get extensive modeling results considering wide area range of input data and latency time between critical energy infrastructure components and cloud infrastructure components. However, researchers were not, yet, had possibility to receive more adequate results based only mathematical modeling process. In this case, simulation models considering the cost time are more preferable than mathematical models. In the spirit development of this conception, authors are proposing to employ the simulation model based on virtual technology and Matlab Simulink toolkit in order to get modeling results for more important on-line mode of functioning of the WAMCSs.

NOWADAYS, power consumption is regularly growing due to people seek to use more electric appliances, equipment and new quite energy consuming technologies
CONCLUSIONS the proposed cloud simulation models based on the use of virtual technology and resources, implemented in GridCloud simulator, allow performing testing operations of different Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) components and Infrastructure of a Service (IaaS) Cloud, including Wide-area Measurement and Control Systems (WAMCSs) devices
Thanks to the simulation of online mode of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) operation, the GridCloud simulator can be used in order to improve the quality of performing of additional processing operations based on cloud services
Summary
NOWADAYS, power consumption is regularly growing due to people seek to use more electric appliances, equipment and new quite energy consuming technologies. Staff of CEI tries to improve functionality and informativeness of a management system of the infrastructure using additional dynamic monitoring digital devices that work in wide-area frequency range These devices form Wide-area Measurement and Control System (WAMCS) are based on Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) [4], which are intended to monitor and control technical parameters of the infrastructure components. The desire to exclude the CEI staff mistakes might require the additional information and computational resources based on new system resource ensuring model Such a model is an Infrastructure of a Service (IaaS) Cloud. It means that infrastructure works in very unstable modes, that is electrical signal parameters are often changed If in such conditions CEI staff will resolve to utilize WAMCSs, the PMUs within dynamic monitoring systems can continually disable grid power nets due to phase swings.
