Book Description
An introduction to geomagnetic storms and the threats they pose at the Earth’s surface
Geomagnetic storms are a form of space weather event that can create Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) which; once they reach Earth’s surface; can intervene with power grids and transport infrastructure. Understanding the characteristics and effects of GICs requires scientific insights from solar physics; aeronomy; magnetospheric physics; and ionospheric physics along with geophysics and power engineering.
Geomagnetically Induced Currents from the Sun to the Power Grid; (PDF); is a practical introduction for practitioners and researchers that provides tools and techniques from across these disciplines.
Volume highlights include:
- Analysis techniques used in different areas of GIC research
- GIC impacts on the infrastructure of the bulk power system
- Analysis of causes of geomagnetic storms that create GICs
- Data and methods used to analyze and forecast GIC hazard
- New methods to validate and predict GICs in transmission systems
NOTE: The product includes the ebook; Geomagnetically Induced Currents from the Sun to the Power Grid; in PDF. No access codes are included.
