SVC Light® for powerful flicker reduction from EAF operation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
An ABB SVC Light® rated at 13.2 kV, 0-64 Mvar (capacitive) has been installed at the Gerdau plant in Charlotte, N.C., USA operating an electric arc furnace (EAF) with continuous charging for scrap-based steel production. The EAF, rated at 30/33 MVA, as well as a ladle furnace (LF) rated at 18 MVA are taking their power from a 100 kV supply grid. The fast control of SVC Light will improve the power quality and particularly reduce the flicker levels generated. As a valuable by-product, improved productivity and decreased specific operating costs of the EAF can be attained. SVC Light is extremely well tested, with close to 15 years of track record as a flicker compensator.

A Comparison between SVC and STATCOM in Flicker Mitigation of Electric Arc Furnace using Practical Recorded Data
Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. It is highly time varying and nonlinear. Its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. On the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in EAF. To this end Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) techn...

متن کاملReal-Time Measurement Approach for Tracking the ΔV10 Estimate Value of DC EAF
This investigation develops a revisable method for estimating the estimate value of equivalent 10 Hz voltage flicker (DV10) of a DC Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). This study also discusses three 161kV DC EAFs by field measurement, with those results indicating that the estimated DV10 value is significantly smaller than the survey value. The key point is that the conventional means of estimating DV...
