An Approach to Diagnostics of Geomagnetically Induced Currents Based on Ground Magnetometers Data
The geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in extended grounded technological systems are driven by telluric electric fields induced by the rapid changes of the geomagnetic field.

The electric field in northern England and southern Scotland: implications for geomagnetically induced currents. [PDF]
Magnetotelluric (MT) data, in the form of MT tensors, are used to estimate directly the size and spatial distribution of the electric field in northern England and southern Scotland with the aim of predicting the flow of geomagnetically induced currents ...

Major Space Weather Risks Identified via Coupled Physics‐Engineering‐Economic Modeling
Abstract Space weather poses an important but under‐quantified threat to society. While severe geomagnetic storms are recognized as potential global catastrophes, their socio‐economic impacts remain poorly quantified. We present a novel physics‐engineering‐economic framework that links geophysical drivers to power grid geoelectric fields, transformer ...

Abstract The neutral wind dynamo generates ionospheric currents that can significantly affect high‐latitude electrodynamics during geomagnetic storms, yet its role in global magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling is often underrepresented. We quantify the impact of wind‐driven currents on geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and magnetospheric dynamics during ...

A Mitigation Method Based on the Principle of GIC-Even Distribution in Whole Power Grids
The geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) caused by geomagnetic storms can inflict the anomalous operation of power systems, damaging electrical equipment, or even resulting in a large-area blackout of power systems.

Space Weather Mitigation Decisions by Critical Infrastructure Operators During Solar Cycle 25
Abstract The “Gannon Storm” in May 2024 was the largest space weather event experienced in 20 years, generating auroras at latitudes as low as 35°, visible in Florida and Mexico. Such events pose significant operational challenges for critical infrastructure operators, particularly those managing electricity transmission networks, satellite ...
