With the deregulation and constant expansion in power systems, the demand of high performance computing (HPC) for power system adequacy and security analysis has been increased rapidly. HPC also plays an important role in ensuring efficient and reliable communication for power system operation and control. In past few years, grid computing technology is catching up much attention from the power engineers and researchers. Grid computing technology is an infrastructure, which can provide HPC and communication mechanism for providing services in these areas of power system. 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 power system reliability and security analysis, operations, monitoring and control systems. We also introduce more grid computing applications for the future research directions in order to provide more open access and more efficient and effective computing services to meet the increasing needs of the power industry. This review presents a comprehensive and clear picture of the benefits of using this technology in terms of efficiency and cost.
