Optimization of operating modes of the anticorrosive protection system for buried main pipelines

The ways of optimizing the operation of the anticorrosive protection system for extended buried main pipelines are considered. The mathematical model of the system, which is formed in the self-diagnostics mode and allows to operate the system in the self-tuning mode, is modernized. The new mathematical model is relevant and allows to correctly use both traditional methods of parametric optimization according to the criterion of minimizing the total current of all cathodic protection stations of the system, and structural optimization according to the criterion of increasing the service life of the system based on the forecast of the state of the system elements.
