Britain’s Grid Hotspots for Solar Storm Damage Exposed

Britain has a storm-time electricity problem that most people never see until the lights start to flicker. During severe geomagnetic disturbances, changing magnetic fields above the country drive electric fields through the ground. Those fields push quasi-DC currents into long conductors. The new national model built from magnetotelluric measurements across Great Britain shows that exposure […] The post Britain’s Grid Hotspots for Solar Storm Da…
