Corrosion Protection Systems and Environmental Monitoring Technologies for Marine Structures

In corrosion protection technologies for offshore wind turbine subsea foundations, impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and galvanic (sacrificial) anode systems are primarily employed to protect steel piles from corrosion. However, due to variations in marine environments across different regions, the design life assessment of these protection systems may differ. In addition to following international standards for system design, simulation-based evaluations can be conducted to ensure that the design meets actual field conditions.

By utilizing simulation systems to assist in the design of subsea structural protection systems and incorporating site-specific seawater parameters, the resulting designs can better meet the corrosion protection requirements of the target environment. Furthermore, by integrating simulation systems with corrosion monitoring systems, an information management platform can be established to visualize the operational status of corrosion protection systems. This approach enables a comprehensive and automated underwater corrosion inspection solution, reducing operational costs and minimizing risks to personnel.
 

A corrosion time-evolution model for protection systems can be established through finite element analysis (FEA) simulations.
