Evaluating the Impact of Magnetospheric Disturbances on Energy Systems in Middle Latitudes

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Strong and superstrong magnetic storms on Earth are the greatest manifestation of solar activity. The distribution of the magnetic field in the inner magnetosphere changes, the fluxes of acting charged particles grow, and the structure of the field is altered, resulting in stronger ionospheric currents in auroral, subauroral, and middle latitudes. The ultimate effect of this process can be a change in the parameters of the ionosphere, accompanied by the excitation of geomagnetically induced current in such conductive systems as power lines, communication cables, and mains at both high and middle latitudes.
