Maybe of interest in this thread, there is some current regulation in the U.S. for handling GMDs that might be induced by a CME, called TPL-007. Power operators have to start collecting data, like magnetic field data, to plan and understand how GICs may affect their grid. The hope is that in the event of another major event like Carrington, power operators would be given enough time to react before damage is done, and avoid the largest consequences.
Disclosure: I work for one of the major providers for GMD/GIC solutions: Computational Physics, Inc.
- mrhyyyyde 6y agoCould you do me (and others) a favor and not speak in acronyms, not meaning to sound combative, just the 2 seconds of someone passing over your comment they're likely to gloss over whatever you said because of the time it would take to search into the terms and find the correct ones. Thank you!
- Cederfjard 6y agoI had already went and done the search when I saw this comment. I think GMD is Geomagnetic Disturbance, and GIC Geomagnetically Induced Current.
