Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMDs) pose a significant threat to power systems worldwide. This comprehensive book addresses the threat of solar storms on power systems, providing a context for GMDs in relation to other natural hazards. It offers straightforward methods to evaluate risk factors for specific grids, making it invaluable for power grid operators who need to manage the impacts of space weather despite not being experts in the field.
The book aims to provide insights into GMDs as natural hazards and their potential impacts on critical infrastructures like power systems. It delves into the physics of solar activity manifestation on Earth, including Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs). The reader gains familiarity with how the Sun can endanger ground-based technological systems.
The book then explores the reaction of power systems to GMDs and discusses mitigation strategies to reduce and control the risks. It covers various mitigation approaches, such as enhancing grid resilience, implementing protective measures, and developing early warning systems. The analysis of critical factors in power systems and the identification of high-risk zones are also discussed, providing valuable input for the (re)insurance sector.
Furthermore, the book emphasizes the estimation of economic loss, which is crucial for assessing the financial impact of GMDs on power systems and developing appropriate risk management strategies. By offering a comprehensive risk assessment tool, this book empowers stakeholders to take proactive measures to protect and secure their power systems against the threat of geomagnetic disturbances.
In conclusion, Geomagnetic Disturbances Impacts on Power Systems: Risk Analysis & Mitigation Strategies is a valuable resource for risk engineers, policy-makers, technical experts, and non-specialists alike. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the threat of solar storms on power systems, offers practical risk assessment methods, and proposes effective mitigation strategies. By raising awareness and promoting proactive measures, this book contributes to the resilience and security of critical infrastructures worldwide.
