Abstract

The aim of this study is to measure the currents geomagnetically induced by the solar activity in the high-voltage powerlines of the electric grid, in order to evaluate when its influence can be a risk to these lines and the electrical supply. The procedure is based on the measurements of magnetic field near the lines. The data was collected in Masdenverge (Tarragona). In this work I have developed a Python program to process these data and obtain an estimation of the GIC in the line. The preliminary results show the validity of this method.
