Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences; Forecasters Can Now Predict Space Weather-Induced Disruptions to the Power Grid an Hour in Advance
BOULDER, Colorado, Dec. 14 (TNSres) -- The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences issued the following news:
A new machine learning method developed by CIRES researchers allows space weather forecasters to predict power grid disruptions caused by geomagnetically-induced currents up to an hour in advance. This is a significant improvement in space weather forecasting capabilities that will allow power companies to better protect the grid and help them avoid power failures i
