Numerical algorithm for the accurate evaluation of the induced voltages in a pipeline

Abstract:
There are some situations in which power lines, pipelines, communication lines, and similar services must coexist in a relatively narrow band of land. Pipelines located near power lines, may capture a portion of the energy encompassed by the conductors’ paths, particularly under unfavorable circumstances such as long parallel exposures and power fault conditions. A finite elements field theory approach is used to relate the currents and potentials in the segments in such a way that an equivalent circuit model can be created which involves the internal and external impedances of the segments.
