In a joint effort, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), Department of Energy (DOE) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) developed a simulation tool for the electric industry to analyze geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) on their systems.
The software, which is an open-source code, was developed as part of NERC’s ongoing efforts to identify high-impact, low-frequency risks, such as the impact of geomagnetic disturbances effects on the bulk power system.
