Athabasca University Research on Induced Currents and Space Weather$148Kvalue2024start2026end

Our entire technological civilization is based on the discovery by Michael Faraday in the 1830s that a changing magnetic field can generate electricity. Our finely tuned electric generation networks deliver power to homes and industry over vast regions. They are, however, vulnerable to effects associated with auroras, known as space weather. This study of such effects will improve upon existing approaches by including recently discovered unusual magnetic impulses, with unusual auroras, as well as a dense network of magnetic measuring devices near the Hydro-Québec power network.
