Electric Power Industry Corrosion Cost Study

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) (Palo Alto, California) published a study in October 2001 (EPRI report 1004662) on the cost of corrosion in the electric power industry (see March 2002 Materials Performance, p. 18). Conducted by Dominion Engineering, Inc., Duke Power Co., and CC Technologies, Inc., the study broke down the cost of corrosion by components and cost category and made recommendations for optimum corrosion management strategies. The same methods were used to develop direct cost data for the nationwide U.S. study and the EPRI study; however, the EPRI study also included indirect costs. It reported total corrosion-related costs of $17.3 billion for the electric power industry vs the $6.9 billion in direct costs estimated by the U.S. study. (source EPRI)

Rustech® has developed a sound solution to protect large power lines and power grids, even if there is no power to the power lines. Rustech® uses small solar panels to power up their modules making them function 24/7.
