The invention provides an electric power big-data cloud storage system achieving N-3 storage medium failure tolerance. The electric power big-data cloud storage system comprises a cloud storage control management unit, wherein the cloud storage control management unit is connected with a [ 32, 16 and 8] Reed-Muller code coding processing unit of an electric power big-data block, a writing-in communication transmission channel, a storage medium array with a rows and 32 lines, a reading-out communication transmission channel and a [32,16 and 8] Reed-Muller code decoding processing unit of the electric power big-data block, and the [ 32, 16 and 8] Reed-Muller code coding processing unit, the writing-in communication transmission channel, the storage medium array, the reading-out communication transmission channel and the [32,16 and 8] Reed-Muller code decoding processing unit are sequentially connected. According to the electric power big-data cloud storage system, the Reed-Muller code coding and decoding technique and the hash function abstract technique are adopted, any storage medium failures with the number equal to or less than 3 can be allowed to occur simultaneously, the N-3 failure tolerance is achieved, balance and optimization of the storage capacity, the failure tolerance capacity and expansibility of the electric power big-data cloud storage system is achieved, data safety is guaranteed, it is guaranteed that data have definite privacy and integrity, and therefore construction and development of the electric power big-data cloud storage system are prompted.
