Mitigation of Geomagnetically Induced Currents Using Corrective Line Switching

graph of reactive power loss vs number of opened lines using the proposed line switching algorithm

Kazerooni, Zhu, and Overbye published a paper in the September 2017 issue of IEEE Transactions on Power Systems investigating a line switching strategy to mitigate geomagnetically induced currents in large-scale power systems. They describe an algorithm used to find an optimal switching strategy for specific outcomes, model its effect, and analyze its computational complexity in large system implementations.
