Corrosion Monitoring for Offshore Wind Farm's Substructures by using Electrochemical Noise Sensors

Electrochemical noise(EN) has been used to analyze the deterioration of coating films of offshore wind substructures. In this study, prototype sensors using EN have been developed to detect the corrosion rate. To verify the reliability of sensors, experiments were conducted both in the laboratory and offshore using probe and standard samples. New analysis and data processing techniques show that the sensor can provide useful information about the corrosion rate.
