Title: Impact of Geomagnetically Induced Current on the Power System and Its Components
Abstract: Earth's magnetic field is disturbed due to solar storms which generate quasi-DC magnetically induced currents which have a detrimental effect on the power system. It is a space weather-driven phenomenon and inevitable in nature. Although to understand the process of Geomagnetically Induced Current (GIC) from start to end one needs to understand a little bit of solar physics, space weather, geophysics and power engineering fields which is reflected in this work. It describes the basics of modelling Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD) in the power system, its background on power system components and also shows the GMD simulation using a uniform electric field. It also talks about the response of the power grid in the presence of GIC in context with reliability and future scope. The recommendation to the planning coordinators based on findings from the work will enhance the resiliency of the power system.
