Power System Restoration Following a High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse–Induced Blackout
Triggered by the high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon, a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) is a sudden burst of electromagnetic radiation that can damage electronic components in the power grid. This report discusses global principles and practices for power system restoration plans following a widespread blackout and examines how a HEMP event could impact these […]

Analysis of Early-Time High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (E1) Coupling of Three-Dimensional Substation Structures
Triggered by the high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon, a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse is a sudden burst of electromagnetic radiation that can damage electronic components and low- and medium-voltage electric infrastructure. This modeling study assessed the effects of the E1 component of a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse on a transmission substation.
