Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cathodic protection technology, and in particular to an optimized method for cathodic protection of complex buried pipeline networks under current interference. Background Technology
[0002] Cathodic protection is a widely used electrochemical protection method to prevent corrosion of metal structures in specific environments. It is primarily used to protect buried or underwater metal pipelines, storage tanks, reinforced concrete structures, and ships. The principle of cathodic protection is to use the metal structure as the cathode in the electrolyte, and through a DC power supply or by using the anode, maintain the potential of the structural surface at a sufficiently low level to prevent electrochemical corrosion reactions in the environment. This technology effectively slows down or prevents metal ions from dissolving from the metal surface, protecting the metal from corrosion.
[0003] The optimization method for cathodic protection of complex buried pipelines under current interference refers to a method of technically optimizing the cathodic protection system of buried pipelines under conditions of current interference. This interference originates from nearby power lines, rail transit, or electrical facilities; stray currents affect the normal operation of the cathodic protection system and reduce its anti-corrosion effect. Optimization methods include improving current distribution, using more efficient cathodic protection materials, or adopting advanced control and monitoring systems. This optimization ensures effective protection of the pipeline network from corrosion even in complex interference environments, extending its service life and ensuring safe operation.
[0004] While existing cathodic protection methods are widely used for corrosion protection of various metal structures, conventional cathodic protection systems struggle to cope with constantly changing current and potential distributions in complex interference environments, such as those caused by power lines, rail transit, or electrical facilities. This results in poor corrosion protection and low system efficiency. This technology relies on an external DC power supply or anode to maintain a low potential in the metal structure, but it fails to adequately consider the specific effects of environmental factors such as soil resistivity and humidity, and lacks dynamic response capabilities to electromagnetic interference. In operation, these shortcomings lead to uneven corrosion protection, increasing maintenance costs and safety risks. The lack of effective real-time monitoring and adjustment mechanisms results in slow or ineffective responses when problems occur, further exacerbating corrosion and damage to the facilities.

[0063] Please see Figure 2 The specific steps for collecting soil resistivity, pipe material, and ambient humidity data from differentiated industrial areas using on-site sampling, and obtaining environmental parameter characteristics by analyzing the variability and correlation of the data, are as follows:
[0064] S101: The execution process for selecting representative locations within the industrial area to collect soil samples, inspecting pipes of varying types and changing humidity environments, recording the location and environmental conditions of each sampling point, and generating soil sample and environmental data tables is as follows;
[0065] Soil sampling is conducted in industrial areas, selecting representative points based on different locations and humidity conditions. The selection of each sampling point must be based on the diversity of geographical location and soil type to ensure the representativeness and wide coverage of the samples. Soil samples must be collected using scientific methods, and the geographical coordinates and environmental factors of each sampling point must be recorded accurately to facilitate subsequent data comparison and analysis. Sampling tools and containers must also maintain consistency and cleanliness to avoid sample contamination. Environmental conditions should be strictly controlled during sample storage and transportation to ensure sample stability. Soil sample and environmental data tables are then generated.
[0066] S102: Based on soil samples and environmental data sheets, the resistivity of the soil and the ambient humidity are measured on-site, the pipe material is recorded, the collected data is organized, the integrity of the data is checked, and the original measurement data record is generated. The execution process is as follows:
[0067] On-site measurements of soil resistivity and ambient humidity were performed according to the formula. Calculate soil resistivity ( In the formula, This represents the measured soil resistivity. Represents the distance between electrodes. This represents the cross-sectional area of the soil column. Detailed formula explanation and calculation derivation: Setting the distance between electrodes. The soil resistivity was measured at a distance of 2.0 meters. The cross-sectional area of the soil column is 300.0 ohms. It is 0.01 square meters, calculated according to the formula. The results indicate that the soil has a high resistivity, which is caused by low water content or high salt content. Comparing the soil resistivity in different regions helps to understand the environmental differences between regions.
[0068] S103: Based on the original measurement data records, perform data quality control, remove biased data points, classify the data according to soil type, and perform statistical analysis to analyze the correlation between resistivity, pipe material and ambient humidity. The execution process for generating environmental parameter characteristics is as follows.
[0069] Quality control and data removal based on raw measurement data require precise analysis to determine whether data points fall within the normal range. Data deviating from the normal range must be removed. Data classification is based on soil type to make the data more targeted and effective. Comprehensive statistical analysis is conducted on parameters such as resistivity, pipe material, and environmental humidity to explore the potential correlations between parameters. Statistical software and data analysis methods are used to analyze the correlations and influences among various data types. The aim is to identify key environmental factors affecting changes in soil resistivity. The analysis results can help to better understand the impact of soil conditions on infrastructure, provide a scientific basis for subsequent soil improvement and infrastructure design, and generate environmental parameter characteristics.
[0070] Please see Figure 3 The steps for constructing an initial decision tree model are as follows: Based on environmental parameter characteristics, information gain is selected to choose the decision point. Variables, including current density, potential difference, and soil type, are input.
[0071] S201: The execution flow of selecting current density, potential difference and soil type as variables based on environmental parameter characteristics, evaluating the influence of differential variables on the classification effect of decision tree, determining the optimal split node, and generating the decision variable evaluation table is as follows;
[0072] To assess the impact of differential variables on the classification performance of decision trees, follow the formula... Calculate the information gain. Where, Represents information gain. Represents the training dataset. Representative characteristic variables (such as current density, potential difference, soil type). Represents entropy. Representative in characteristics The value is A subset of data Representative characteristics All values. Detailed formula explanation and calculation derivation: Calculating the entropy of the entire dataset. If the dataset There is The results are categorized, with each category having a proportion of [missing information]. Then entropy for: For each feature For example, current density, the value is The data subset corresponding to each value entropy The calculation is performed using the same formula as above. If there are three different soil types, and the sample size percentage and entropy of each type are respectively... The entropy of the entire dataset is Information gain The calculation is as follows: This indicates that soil type is an important factor affecting classification results.
[0073] S202: Based on the decision variable evaluation table, select the variable with the highest information gain as the root node, and then select the second highest variable in sequence to build branches. Set the initial structure parameters of the decision tree and generate the decision tree structure framework. The execution flow is as follows:
[0074] Based on the decision variable evaluation table, the variable with the highest information gain is selected as the root node of the decision tree. This selection is to ensure that the model's discriminative power is maximized. The variable with the second highest information gain is used for further branching. The key to this process is to accurately calculate the information gain of each variable. This requires integrating all values of current density, potential difference, and soil type, as well as the corresponding classification results. Statistical software is used for data calculation and analysis to ensure that the information gain calculation is accurate. Selecting variables and constructing the tree based on the information gain value can not only improve the model's classification accuracy but also effectively simplify the model structure, avoid overfitting, and generate the structural framework of the decision tree.
[0075] S203: Based on the decision tree structure framework, input current density, potential difference and soil type data, train and validate the model, optimize model performance by adjusting parameters in real time, and generate the initial decision tree model. The execution flow is as follows:
[0076] Using a decision tree framework, input data on current density, potential difference, and soil type are input. This step is the core of model training and validation. Model performance optimization is achieved by adjusting the parameters of the decision tree in real time, including tree depth, minimum number of samples per branch, etc. Through iterative training, the model gradually adapts to the characteristics of the data. In the validation phase, cross-validation or independent test sets are used to evaluate the model's generalization ability and accuracy. Each training result needs to be recorded and analyzed, and the model parameters need to be adjusted in a timely manner to achieve the best model performance and generate an initial decision tree model.
[0077] Please see Figure 4 The steps to apply the initial decision tree model to a simulated environment for scenario testing, compare the model output with the data on the cathodic protection effect of buried pipelines, and adjust the branch conditions and thresholds in the decision tree to obtain the adjusted decision tree model are as follows:
[0078] S301: Based on the initial decision tree model, set up the simulation test environment, use simulated current density, potential difference and soil type data to conduct scenario tests, record model output, and generate simulation test results. The execution flow is as follows:
[0079] A simulated testing environment is set up, and scenario tests are conducted using simulated current density, potential difference, and soil type data. This process requires accurately simulating various scenarios that occur in the real world to ensure the breadth and representativeness of the test results. Through simulated data, the decision tree model can be tested to assess its performance under various conditions. Recording the model output for each test is a crucial step, providing direct evidence for subsequent model optimization. Through the simulated test results, the classification effect of the model under specific conditions can be intuitively understood. The test not only verifies the current effectiveness of the model but also provides a testing foundation for future application scenarios. After the simulation test is completed, the simulation test results are generated.
[0080] S302: Based on the simulation test results, the random forest algorithm is used to compare the model output with the real-time cathodic protection effect data of the buried pipeline network, identify the advantages and disadvantages of the model, analyze the source of error, and generate the model effect comparison analysis results. The execution flow is as follows:
[0081] The formula for the Random Forest algorithm is as follows:
[0082]
[0083] in, This represents the error value between the model and the real-time result. Data representing the effectiveness of cathodic protection This represents the cathodic protection effect predicted by the model. Represents the weighting coefficient. Represents the depth of the pipeline network. This indicates the time when the pipeline was laid.
[0084] Detailed explanation of the formula and its calculation derivation:
[0085] The formula is used to calculate the error between the cathodic protection effect data of buried pipelines and the model predictions. The specific parameters in the formula are as follows:
[0086] Actual cathodic protection data is obtained through real-time monitoring by sensors in the buried pipeline network. For example, the protection potential of a certain pipeline section is -0.85 volts.
[0087] The cathodic protection data predicted by the model is obtained through the random forest algorithm. The prediction result for the same pipeline segment is set to -0.80 volts.
[0088] Weighting coefficient, calculated based on data quality and pipeline length. Data quality is assessed through sensor accuracy and signal strength, while pipeline length is directly measured. A pipeline segment with high data quality is assigned a weight of 1.5.
[0089] The depth of the pipeline network is obtained through geological surveying tools, for example, 2 meters.
[0090] The pipeline installation time is determined from the installation records, for example, 10 years.
[0091] Example of formula calculation process:
[0092] 1. Calculation and The absolute value of the difference, i.e. volt.
[0093] 2. Multiply the difference by the weighting factor. ,Right now .
[0094] 3. Calculation The value of, i.e. .
[0095] 4. Multiply the result of step 2 by the result of step 3, that is... .
[0096] 5. Sum the calculation results for all data points and divide by the total number of data points. The error was obtained. .
[0097] The results show that by carefully analyzing the difference between the actual protection potential and the model prediction for each pipeline segment, and considering data quality, pipeline length, depth, and service life, a more accurate model error assessment can be obtained. The assessment results can be used to further optimize the model, ensuring that the prediction results are closer to the actual situation and improving the accuracy of cathodic protection predictions.
[0098] S303: Based on the comparative analysis of model performance, adjust the branch conditions and thresholds in the decision tree, optimize the model structure and generalization ability, verify the adjustment effect through multiple tests, and generate the following execution flow of the adjusted decision tree model;
[0099] Adjust the branch conditions and thresholds in the decision tree according to the formula. Calculate the model error rate. Where, Represents the total error rate of the model. Represents the number of test data. It is an indicator function, when (Actual category) is not equal to The value is 1 for (predicted category) and 0 otherwise. Detailed formula explanation and derivation: When optimizing the model structure, the total error rate of the model can be calculated by performing error analysis on the results of each simulation test. For example, if the model makes 2 prediction errors in 10 tests, the error rate is calculated as follows: .
[0100] That is, the model's total error rate is 20%. By adjusting the branching conditions and thresholds of the decision tree, such as modifying a certain threshold to improve the accuracy of a specific classification, and conducting multiple tests to verify the effect of the adjustment, the aim is to reduce the error rate, enhance the model's generalization ability, and ensure that the model can achieve higher accuracy in future practical applications.

Each test setup should ensure accurate recording of the intensity and direction of the electric and magnetic fields. Recording measurement data is a crucial step, providing the foundation for subsequent data analysis. Electromagnetic field data collection should include multiple measurements under different conditions to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the data. The data will be used to assess the stability of the electromagnetic field environment and the degree of influence of the interference sources, providing a preliminary quantitative description of the on-site electromagnetic environment. This forms the basis for further simulation and analysis, generating initial electromagnetic field measurement records.
[0104] S402: Based on the electromagnetic field initialization measurement record, the electric field and magnetic field are simulated, the position and intensity of the electromagnetic source are adjusted, the changes in intensity and direction of the data points are recorded during the simulation, and the execution flow of generating the direction change diagram is as follows;

With speed The strength of the magnetic field generated during motion can be calculated using the formula above. (Settings) , The observation point is 1m away from the charge in the due east direction, i.e. magnetic field strength The calculation is as follows: This means that, under this configuration, the magnetic field strength lies in a plane perpendicular to the direction of velocity and the observation point. By adjusting the position and intensity of the electromagnetic source, the changes in intensity and direction of data points during the simulation are recorded, generating a graph showing the changes in the direction of the electric and magnetic fields.
[0106] S403: The execution flow for generating electromagnetic field simulation data by integrating simulation data through the direction change diagram, performing data analysis and visualization processing, identifying key changes in electromagnetic field strength and direction, and generating electromagnetic field simulation data is as follows;
[0107] By integrating simulation data through direction change diagrams, data analysis and visualization are performed. This includes identifying key changes in electromagnetic field strength and direction, and using advanced data analysis tools such as statistical software and visualization platforms to convert electromagnetic field variation data into graphs and charts. This makes the dynamic changes of the electromagnetic field more intuitive and easier to understand. Analyzing the data can help identify specific characteristics of interference sources, such as location, intensity, and range of influence, and how to reduce adverse effects by adjusting parameters. The integrated data not only provides a deeper understanding of the electromagnetic field environment but also provides a scientific basis for further research and applications, generating electromagnetic field simulation data.
[0108] Please see Figure 6 Based on electromagnetic field simulation data, the parameters of output current and potential distribution are adjusted. Multiple rounds of simulation tests are used to refine these parameters, and changes in electromagnetic interference are monitored after adjustment. The specific steps for optimizing current and potential parameters are as follows:
