Keywords: magnetic storms, geo-induced currents, power lines, ELF radiation
Аnnotation: It has been suggested that extremely low frequency (ELF) emissions can serve as an indirect remote means of detecting overloads in the operation of energy networks caused by geomagnetically induced currents (GICs). An analysis of the data from the registration system for GIC in power line transformers, a magnetometer and an ELF receiver on the Kola Peninsula during a magnetic storm on September 7–8, 2017 showed that the intensity of radiation at the industrial frequency of 50 Hz and its third harmonic of 150 Hz increases with increasing GIC. Apparently, under the influence of GIC, the transmitted currents in power lines (PTLs) turn out to be unbal-anced, so that the power line becomes a large-scale antenna and radiates both at the fundamental frequency of alternating current (50 Hz) and its harmonics. The discovered effect of increasing the imbalance of currents in power lines has not previously been noted as a possible factor in the impact of space weather on energy systems.
