Abstract

The results of simulation of a geomagnetically induced current impact on the consolidated power system of the center of Russia expected during a strong magnetic storm are represented. It is shown that a complex of factors appears during this impact that can induce the progression of a blackout: a significant decrease in voltage on a set of electrical power elements, the mass cutoff of power transmission lines under the effect of relay protection, and the dangerous heating of construction elements of power transformers.
