To investigate the corrosion state of subsea pipeline under cathodic protection, the surface potential distribution of the pipeline has to be measured exactly, but it’s very difficult to measure directly in actually. On base of boundary element methods (BEM), a 2D model about pipe’s cathodic protection under sea water was established, and then software to calculate the electric field distribution on pipe surface in even media (seawater) was developed by way of Matlab. The developed software was verified through an experiment in lab. The result shows that numerical calculation based on BEM by Matlab is feasible for cathodic protection electric field of pipe in marine environment.

±1000kV DC wall bushing under planning is a complex insulation system which bears the effects imposed by different working conditions. The electric field distribution is concentrated at the bushing outlet terminal, which might result in breakdown discharge especially when short-time abrupt conditions such as polarity reversal occur. In this paper, the finite element method is utilized to analyze electric field distribution and potential distribution of wall bushing during polarity reversal. Electric field distribution and potential distribution at the moment of polarity reversal are obtained, which provides value reference for the study of polarity reversal process.
