ICCP cathodic protection of tanks with photovoltaic power supply

Energy Management Strategy of Stand-alone Photovoltaic System in Cathodic Protection Pipeline

‎ In this paper, the stand-alone photovoltaic system for cathodic protection of underground pipelines is presented. The proposed system offers continuous and automatic adjustment of the applied voltage so that the buried pipelines receive the exact current. A modified perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used to improve dynamic and steady state performa...

Optimization of Auxiliary Power Supply (APS) Systems with Photovoltaic Modules

Auxiliary power supply (APS) systems are increasingly used for low power rating home appliances (e.g. televisions, water dispensers, etc.) and lighting (e.g. CFL lamps) in countries where long power rationing schemes are applied. In general, these systems charge a 240AH (Ampers-Hours) bank of batteries as long as the grid is on and then convert the stored energy into AC current to supply a load...

Optimization of Cathodic Protection on Offshore Structures

Marine structures are one of the most important and susceptible facilities in Iran due to corrosion. The two methods of Cathodic Protection, namely, the cathodic protection with sacrificial anodes and cathodic protection using impressed current, are widely used for corrosion protection. According to the former, sacrificial anodes are installed at several points in the structure. Position of the...
