CHALLENGE: ADDRESSING AC INTERFERENCE THREATS IN REMOTE AREAS BY RAPIDLY IDENTIFYING AND RESPONDING TO SPIKES IN AC CURRENT DENSITY
Changes to operations by the collocated electrical utility assets were creating AC interference and threatening the integrity of new pipeline assets running between Northern Utah and Southern Nevada, located in extremely remote and mountainous locations. To address the challenges of monitoring AC interference spikes, MOBILTEX developed a new system for reporting AC current density readings above a predetermined threshold, allowing for trending data to be captured and ongoing optimization of AC Mitigation along the entire length of the pipeline.
