Space weather can create picturesque auroras but poses a potential hazard to technology on which modern society relies. It is essential for space weather researchers, forecasters, end-users (e.g., utility operators) and the emergency management community to work together to understand and mitigate this natural hazard. This project will convene a 3-day workshop in Fall 2021 in Washington DC, in which a mock space weather event will be used to step through the modeling, prediction and forecast, communication, and response stages involving every community in the space weather-to-power grid domain. The workshop organizing committee has members representing each major link in the information flow. Students and early-career space weather professionals will be actively involved in the activities. A workshop report summarizing the state of the practice for power grid response to space weather will be made publicly available.The simulation will make use of federally funded solar wind, geomagnetic index, and geoelectric field data and models, and an open-source software tool for performing assessment of geomagnetic disturbances’ impact on power grids. A hackathon will help identify and build tools that support better communication and data analytics for the space weather-to-power grid community. The workshop outcomes will identify research and development and operational gaps regarding space weather effects on the electric power grid and help improve the Nation’s response to extreme space weather.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

太空天气可以创造出如画的极光，但对现代社会所依赖的技术构成潜在危害。 空间天气研究人员、预报员、最终用户（例如公用事业运营商）和应急管理界必须共同努力，了解并减轻这种自然灾害。 该项目将于 2021 年秋季在华盛顿特区召开为期 3 天的研讨会，其中将使用模拟空间天气事件逐步完成涉及空间天气到电网领域每个社区的建模、预测和预报、通信和响应阶段。 研讨会组委会的成员代表了信息流中的各个主要环节。 学生和处于职业生涯早期的空间气象专业人士将积极参与这些活动。 总结电网应对太空天气实践状况的研讨会报告将公开。该模拟将利用联邦资助的太阳风、地磁指数和地电场数据和模型，以及用于评估地磁扰动对电网影响的开源软件工具。 黑客马拉松将帮助识别和构建工具，支持空间天气到电网社区更好的通信和数据分析。 研讨会的成果将确定空间天气对电网影响的研发和运营差距，并帮助改善国家对极端空间天气的响应。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
