Situation and Development on Soil Corrosion of Metallic Materials of HVDC Power Transmission Project

Abstract:

UHVDC transmission could deliver high-power electricity over long distances effectively, while the DC stray current led to corrosion of grounding device and the surrounding buried metal during the operation inevitably. This paper reviewed the research progress of HVDC corrosion at home and abroad in recent years. It elaborated corrosion research direction of HVDC system from three aspects, which were pole, grounding grid and the neighboring tower grounding body buried pipeline respectively. Describing the anti-corrosion measures on grounding devices and buried pipeline, and explaining the advantages and defects of various anti-corrosion technology. At last, we proposed that it was necessary to expand the research in UHVDC field, grasp the erosion rule of DC stray current in soil comprehensively to enhance the security of UHVDC transmission system of national grid.
