Due to the similarity of the routing between HVDC transmission lines and buried pipelines, the local pipelines inevitably enter the HVDC transmission interference zone. In order to study the law of interference and mitigation of HVDC grounding electrode on buried pipeline, boundary element software was used to calculate the effectiveness of various mitigation methods including anti-corrosion coating, the distance between the pipeline and the grounding electrode, insulating joints and zinc ribbon. The results indicated that the smaller the coating breakdown factor was, the more concentrated the interference current was , and the higher the local corrosion risk was. After installing the insulating joints, the strongest interfered section of pipe was alleviated, while the interference of the other section of pipe was aggravated. The protection range of the zinc ribbon was equivalent to the length of the zinc ribbon. Finally, the paper put forward the comprehensive protection measures which included insulating joints, cathodic protection and zinc ribbon.
