Forecasting space weather risks on power grids.

AI brief

Microsoft Research describes a machine learning system that predicts where space-weather storms are likely to damage power grids 30 to 60 minutes before the storm arrives.

Why it matters: Such forecasts could give grid operators advance warning of storm damage and help protect equipment and satellite-dependent systems.
