The Smart Grid aims to enhance the electric grid's reliability, safety, and efficiency by utilizing digital information and control technologies. Real-time analysis and state estimation methods are crucial for ensuring proper control implementation. However, the reliance of Smart Grid systems on communication networks makes them vulnerable to cyberattacks, posing a significant risk to grid reliability.

However, existing research has primarily focused on Virtual Machine (VM) placement, with less emphasis on energy efficiency and SLA adherence. In this paper, we propose a novel solution, Federated Cloud Workload Prediction with Deep Q-Learning (FEDQWP).
