Abstract

Voltages and currents can be induced on a buried or above-ground pipeline by the coupling of the electromagnetic fields generated by a nearby ac power line. This paper, in two parts, presents the mitigation method developed by IITRI for the induced voltages on pipelines. The approach applies the electrical transmission line theory presented in a previous paper to locate and quantize pipeline voltage peaks and then determine the effects of installing various mitigation systems. Part I describes how a joint pipeline/power line corridor can be designed to minimize inductive coupling. This allows installation of the utilities with significantly reduced requirements for pipeline voltage mitigation using grounding techniques.
