Geomagnetic Disturbances Impacts on Power Systems: Risk Analysis
& Mitigation Strategies provides a full risk assessment tool
for assessing power systems confronted geomagnetic disturbances
(GMDs) and specifies mitigation opportunities for various
stakeholders. "This book deals comprehensively with the threat of
solar storms on the world's power systems. It provides a context to
GMDs with respect to other natural hazards, and describes methods
to evaluate a particular grid's risk factors in a straightforward
fashion. This is extremely useful to power grid operators, as they
are not experts in the field of space weather, but they must be
able to deal with its impacts. This is the critical message of this
extremely valuable book." - William A. Radasky, Ph.D., P.E., IEEE
Life Fellow, Metatech Corporation, California USAAimed at risk
engineers, policy-makers, technical experts and non-specialists
such as power system operators, this book seeks to provide an
insight into the GMD as a natural hazard and to perform the risk
assessment of its potential impacts on the power systems as
critical infrastructures. The reader gets familiar with how the Sun
can endanger ground-based technological systems and the physics of
solar activity manifestation on the Earth as Geomagnetically
Induced Currents (GICs). The reaction of power systems to GMDs and
mitigation strategies aiming at reducing and controlling the risks
are then addressed. The GMD mitigation strategies, the power
systems critical factors analysis, the high-risk zones
identification and an estimation of economic loss, which is a
valuable input for the (re)insurance sector, are also brought to
the attention of the reader. Thereby, this book provides a full
risk assessment tool for assessing power systems confronted with
space weather risks. Key features: * Brings together
interdisciplinary perspectives on the topic in one, cohesive book *
Practical guideline on mitigation actions for diverse users and
even non-specialists * Dealing comprehensively with the threat of
geomagnetic disturbance on the worlds power systems * Introducing
unique methods to evaluate a particular system risk factors in a
straightforward fashion Authors Olga Sokolova, Ph.D., is a risk
analyst and electrical engineer with expertise in the domain of
critical infrastructure risk assessment to natural catastrophes.
