Cathodic Protection Challenges for Power Plants
Presented by Ted Huck, Direct of Sales at MATCOR Inc.
With U.S. electrical demand surging due to data center growth, renewable energy, and manufacturing reshoring, the stress on our electrical distribution systems has never been higher. This presentation will dive into:
- The AMPP Standard for Cathodic Protection and the unique difficulties of applying it to the roughly 1,500 existing gas turbine and peeker plants in the US.
- The specific testing challenges faced within aging facilities (averaging 25-35 years old).
- Engineering concerns and strategies for replacing depleted CP systems.
- Best practices and suggestions for new construction power plant CP designs.
