Goddard space scientist Antti Pulkkinen researches space weather phenomena that affect power grids. In addition to developing systems that simulate where and when power grids will experience geomagnetically induced currents, Pulkkinen works with the power engineering community to help develop standards and guidelines to keep North American power grids stable during geomagnetic storms.
