Studying and Realizing the Based-Intelligent IoT System for Pipeline Cathodic Protection
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cathodic protection (CP) emerges as the optimal approach for mitigating metal corrosion in pipeline networks. To ensure the continued efficiency of the CP system, monitoring the potential distribution throughout the network is crucial. In distribution networks, the pipeline potential is influenced by time-varying environmental factors, making it challenging to estimate the potential at locations away from the measurement point. This paper presents a proposed cathodic protection system for pipelines, utilizing an intelligent IoT (Internet of Things) system. The sensor nodes of the system designed based on the STM32 microcontroller perform the measurement of voltages from the reference electrodes, process the signal as well as perform wireless communication about the control stations via LoRa communication. Besides, the control stations are designed to implement voltage compensation control through autotransformer and to communicate with the server through GPRS communication. The objective is to deploy an affordable system capable of effectively monitoring and regulating the potential of the pipeline at a designated measurement location in industrial plants.
