Systems profiler, structure system context

The design goal of an ICCP system is to produce an evenly distributed protection potential on a structure as well as to reduce the power consumption of the anodes to a minimum. The available design variables are the number of anodes, their location, and the location of the reference cells. The constraints on the design are the values of the potential on the structure. In order to provide adequate protection the potential must be less than a specified value, for example, -800 mV. In order to prevent overprotection the potential must be greater than a specified value, for example, -900 mV. An optimum solution can be obtained by combining an automatic optimization procedure with the BE model of the ICCP system. In this context Eq. (13.3) describes the electrochemical corrosion profile for the wetted surface of a ship hull is [18]...
