Impulsive disturbances of the geomagnetic field as a cause of induced currents of electric power lines
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) represent a significant challenge for society on a stable electricity supply. Space weather activates global electromagnetic and plasma processes in the near-Earth environment, however, the highest risk of GICs is related not directly to those processes with en...

Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) represent a significant challenge for society on a stable electricity supply.
