The issue of induced AC current corrosion and its mitigation for buried pipelines continues. A review of the design methods and mitigation technologies used in the past, and those recently developed and continue to evolve, to meet the AC mitigation challenges faced by buried pipeline operators.
The issue of induced AC current corrosion and its mitigation for buried pipelines has seen increased interest and rapid development of new technologies for mitigation and monitoring in the last 5 to 10 years. These include work on development of a NACE International Standard Practice for AC current corrosion on cathodically protected pipelines updates to the AC corrosion mitigation design criteria new materials and installation methods and AC corrosion current density remote monitoring technologies.This paper presents a comparison of the design methods and mitigation technologies that were used in the past and those that have been developed and continue to evolve to meet the current challenges faced by the buried pipeline operators.

The measurement of induced AC voltages along a pipeline is a primary indicator of electrical safety hazards and AC corrosion risks under operating powerlines. This paper addresses several fallacies, misconceptions and common errors related to the measurement of these AC induced voltages.

Challenges associated with coordinating the modelling, design, and installation of an alternating current interference and mitigation systems. The project consisted of a 65 kilometer long double circuit 500 kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission in a heavily congested right-of-way corridor with more than 80 pipelines.
This paper outlines the essential features required in a software package that has sufficient capability to accurately predict and mitigate AC induction effects upon pipelines for a majority of rights-of-way.
