Major features of the Cathelco wind turbine ICCP system

Greater flexibility

By mounting the anodes and reference electrodes externally, the problems associated with traditional cofferdam installations are eliminated.

Expert system design

Using Cathelco’s background of expertise systems can be designed to protect the complex geometry of tripod and jacket structures.

Small anode footprint

The tubular design of the ICCP element results in a very compact anode which combines a small footprint with a high current output.

Optimum anode distribution

Greater access means that anodes can be positioned to achieve the optimum current distribution without the risk of ‘shading’.

Easier installation

Anodes and reference electrodes are fitted using ‘self-torquing’ fastenings.

Control and data monitoring

The system can be remotely controlled using Cathelco’s software and monitored via the Internet.
