Simulation and AC Interference Study for Pipeline – EPPC Energy
Our team collaborated with EPPC Energy to perform a detailed simulation and AC (Alternating Current) interference study on their pipeline infrastructure. This study was essential to ensure the safety and integrity of the pipeline in areas where it is exposed to high-voltage AC power lines, mitigating potential risks associated with AC-induced corrosion and safety hazards.
Project Objective
The primary objective was to evaluate and mitigate the effects of AC interference on EPPC Energy’s pipeline. By understanding the AC influence, we aimed to protect the pipeline from accelerated corrosion, safeguard operational personnel, and enhance the reliability of the infrastructure.
Study and Simulation Process
We used advanced simulation tools and modelling techniques to assess and manage the AC interference on the pipeline:
- AC Interference Modelling: Utilizing specialized software, we modelled the pipeline’s proximity to high-voltage lines to predict potential AC voltage levels, allowing us to identify high-risk areas with elevated interference.
- AC Corrosion Risk Assessment: By simulating the effects of AC current on the pipeline surface, we evaluated the risk of AC-induced corrosion, enabling us to recommend protective measures where needed.
- Mitigation Design Recommendations: Based on the findings, we designed targeted AC mitigation systems, including grounding and decoupling devices, to minimize AC interference and protect the pipeline.
Outcomes and Client Benefits
This simulation and AC interference study provided EPPC Energy with a comprehensive understanding of potential AC risks, ensuring their pipeline’s longevity and safety. By implementing the recommended mitigation measures, EPPC can prevent AC-induced corrosion, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance overall safety for their infrastructure.
This project with EPPC Energy demonstrates our commitment to delivering precise, data-driven solutions to address complex interference challenges, ensuring the security and resilience of critical energy infrastructure.
