In the previous study, we designed cathodic protection (CP) for river-crossing District Heating (DH) pipeline with appropriate environmental factors. The study verified the satisfaction of the CP criteria at the target structure with fixed anode location. However, consideration of the optimized anode location is a very important factor; therefore, in this case study, we used computational analysis to optimize the location of anode for effective CP. The CP potential variation was observed according to the position of the west anode. In the case of 74 A, which is the current calculated by theoretical method, the maximum CP potential decreases by increasing the anode distance up to 400 m; however, it did not satisfy the CP criteria in all anode locations. The 100 A current, which is the optimized CP current without anode movement from the previous study, showed a similar tendency. All of the results satisfied the CP criteria, and the lowest potential was observed at 500 m. In all of the studied cases, it can be concluded that the optimized distance of anode is between 400 and 500 in the range 74 and 100 A. Consequently, the optimized CP design can be achieved at the anode location of 400 m with CP current of 83 A. This study shows the significance of anode location and distribution to structure in CP design. Obviously, computational analysis should be conducted to obtain more stable and reliable CP design in the real field.
