Assessment of the geomagnetically induced currents impact on the power transformers cores of the Altai Republic 110 kV power grid [PDF]
Based on the Baigazan magnetic station data located in Altai, geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) in primary windings of transformers in the southern part of the Altai Republic power system were calculated during a strong magnetic storm on April 24 ...

Geomagnetic Pulsations Driving Geomagnetically Induced Currents
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are driven by the geoelectric field induced by fluctuations of Earth's magnetic field. Drivers of intense GICs are often associated with large impulsive events such as coronal mass ejections.

Modelling the effects of space weather at the Earth’s surface : a UK geoelectric field model [PDF]
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC), which can flow in technological systems such as power transmission grids, are a consequence of the geoelectric field induced at the surface of the Earth during geomagnetic storms.

UHV AC/DC power grid geomagnetically induced currents harmonic characteristics analysis
The power grid’s geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) during geomagnetic storms, are associated with a broad and abrupt harmonic impact, with the potential for grid paralysis and extensive power outages in severe scenarios.

April 2000 geomagnetic storm: ionospheric drivers of large geomagnetically induced currents [PDF]
Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) flowing in technological systems on the ground are a direct manifestation of space weather. Due to the proximity of very dynamic ionospheric current systems, GIC are of special interest at high latitudes ...

Investigating Geomagnetic Disturbances in the Expansion Phase of Strong Substorms
Abstract This study contributes to improved space weather forecasting by investigating geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) associated with rapid decreases in the SuperMAG Auroral Electrojet Lower (SML) index during strong substorms (SML < ${< } $ −500 nT) at high latitudes (64° ${}^{\circ}$–75° ${}^{\circ}$ MLAT).

Influence of Tectonic and Geological Structure on GIC in Southern South Island, New Zealand
As part of a 5‐year project to assess the risk posed by geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) to the New Zealand electrical transmission network, long‐period magnetotelluric (MT) measurements have been made at 62 sites in southern South Island of New ...

MHD Forecasting of Solar Wind With Coronal Mass Ejections
Abstract We present a model, implemented as an online service, for predicting the speed and density of solar wind in the inner heliosphere and near Earth. The model is based on a numerical magnetohydrodynamics code PLUTO. The inner boundary maps are continuously obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, where they are updated 1 ...
