On extreme GIC values affecting the Portuguese power gridFernando Pinheiro - University of Coimbra, Portugal; Joana Alves Ribeiro - University of Coimbra and University of Lisbon, Portugal; Anna Morozova - University of Coimbra, Portugal; Fernando Monteiro Santos - University of Lisbon, Portugal; Pedro Baltazar-Soares - University of Lisbon, Portugal; Paulo Ribeiro - University of Coimbra, Portugal; João Fernandes - University of Coimbra, Portugal; Maria Alexandra Pais - University of Coimbra, Portugal Session: Ground-Level Geomagnetically Induced Currents AbstractA magnetic superstorm occurred in October/November 1903, close to the minimum of solar cycle 14, and is well documented by variograms from Coimbra magnetic observatory (COI). During this storm, the alternative index Dst’ attained an extreme value -513 nT (Hayakawa et al., 2020). If such a storm occurred today, how large could be the currents induced along the grounded conductors of the Portuguese power system network? |
