Will some electric utilities fail at the GPS rollover?

The GPS will roll over to 0000 around 822/99. Some electrical generators receive time broadcasts from the GPS satellites. Will these fail at rollover? Will there be other failures at electric generating plants due to the GPS rollover, i.e., will SCADA systems fail?

Hi Wendy,

And the answer is...maybe. There's three or four good threads on this forum about GPS impact - try using the search feature of your browser and use the term GPS. If you have any problems in performing the search, let me know.
