Abstract

The solar rotation period is the most prominent mid-term periodicity in the temporal behaviour of solar, heliospheric, and geomagnetic parameters. It is also a cause of the repeatedly appearing geomagnetic storms originating from the corotating interaction regions (CIRs). Since geomagnetic CIR-driven storms have a natural periodic character, and geomagnetic storms impact energy infrastructure via geomagnetically induced currents, it is of interest whether this periodic character is also noticeable in the temporal behaviour of electrical-grid failures (EGFs), which, at least to some extent, might be of solar origin.
