The corrosion of metallic materials in marine environments—such as the infrastructure in offshore wind farms—has been a problem for as long as people have been utilizing metals in water. This is the reason why corrosion protection mechanisms exist. One of the long-standing ways of protecting submerged metallic infrastructure is to use cathodic protection. While cathodic protection methods have been around for a long time, modern-day solutions are able to implement more effective potential controls and monitoring approaches (such as the integration with SCADA systems) that are highly beneficial for offshore wind environments.
