Description

Background Art

[0002] Due to the rapid development of electrified railways and high-voltage transmission lines, it has become a common phenomenon that high-voltage transmission lines, rail transit lines and pipelines are laid parallel or crosswise in public corridors, resulting in an increasing risk of pipelines being disturbed by stray currents. Although a large number of theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted on corrosion caused by stray current interference, and the causes, conduction mechanisms and influence laws of stray current interference have been mastered to a certain extent, due to the complex interference types, frequent fluctuations throughout the year and unstable characteristic parameters of stray currents, there are still many difficulties in the mitigation and control of stray current corrosion in actual engineering applications. Existing research results show that the superposition of cathodic protection current and AC stray current will aggravate the corrosion problem (Corrosion Science, 2022, 197: 110085.), and studies have also shown that the use of high cathodic protection levels in the presence of AC interference may not meet the corrosion protection requirements in actual operation.

[0003] Drainage facilities have a certain mitigating effect on stray current corrosion. However, how to effectively evaluate the cathodic protection effect and avoid the problem of accelerated corrosion under the combined action of AC stray current and cathodic protection current is a difficult problem. Therefore, under the condition of stray current interference, the output parameters and control potential of the constant potential instrument should be dynamically adjusted with the change of interference level to ensure that the cathodic protection potential of the pipeline is within a reasonable range. In the optimization process, clarifying the in-situ chemical environment of the corrosion interface is the key to adjusting the cathodic protection potential. It is necessary to effectively determine the corrosion state by designing an in-situ analysis device for the interface chemical environment under stray current interference.

[0004] Patent application number 202410165024.6 discloses a system and method for predictive adjustment of cathodic protection potential, which uses a cathodic protection server, and an intelligent cathodic protection pile and a constant potentiostat connected to the cathodic protection server, to predictively adjust the cathodic protection potential using a potential distribution function and an algorithm, and optimize the cathodic protection potential. However, this method is only based on the potential analysis results and cannot truly reflect the electrochemical corrosion characteristics under stray current interference. The effectiveness of its adjustment algorithm is unclear, and it is impossible to obtain the actual change in the corrosion rate of the pipeline after adjustment; Patent application number 202110005 Patent No. 498.0 discloses a method and device for determining the cathodic protection potential of a pipeline, which obtains the target correction parameters by obtaining the pipe-to-ground potential signal and the ground potential gradient signal of the pipeline within a target time period, and further obtains the pipeline cathodic protection potential based on the target correction parameters, the pipe-to-ground potential signal and the ground potential gradient signal, and then determines the cathodic protection potential of the pipeline in the dynamic stray current interference section to achieve effective operation of cathodic protection. However, the above method can only obtain the pipeline cathodic protection potential with high accuracy, and cannot evaluate the corrosion characteristics under the combined action of stray current and cathodic protection current and the safe operation level of the pipeline.
