Initial Report: Impact of Geomagnetically Induced Currents on Transformer Tank Vibrations—Phase 1 Results
This study examines how geomagnetically induced currents (currents in the grid produced by geomagnetic disturbances due to solar storms) impact vibrations of power transformer tanks. It is part of efforts by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to understand the risks that severe geomagnetic disturbances pose to the bulk […]
