Splinter - Ground Effects Topical Group
M. Wik
Tuesday, Nov 6, 14:00-16:00
There is a growing interest in ground effects from space weather, not just from the science and end-users point of view, but also from ESA, EU, authorities, civil contingency agencies and the general public. Since the hazard on ground technology is a cross-disciplinary activity, we need better collaboration between solar-, space- and geophysicists and the power engineering community.
Therefore, we would like to expand this group with new members, both from within the SWWT/TWG but also from any of the groups listed above. If you are interested in this topic and want to join but unable to attend, please send an e-mail, with a short description, and you will be added to the GETG e-mail and member list.
The Ground Effects Topical Group (GETG) covers a wide range of activities:
- Modelling the occurrence of geomagnetic variations and geoelectric fields during space weather events.
- Modelling GIC in electric power systems (discrete grounding).
- Modelling GIC in buried pipeline networks (continuous grounding).
- Modelling GIC in railway equipment (continuous grounding).
- Measurements of geomagnetic variations, geoelectric fields and GIC.
- Development of forecast techniques of geomagnetic storms and GIC based on neural networks and physical models.
- Risks and Hazards from an insurance and social perspective.
- Public outreach.
- Introduction to SWWT, TWG and GETG
- Presentations (EURISGIC, GIC demo, effects on Railway, measurements and forecast service)
- Emerging activities
- Reports from members
- Past and upcoming meetings
- Discussion/Conclusions
