Employing Grey System Model for Prediction of Electric Arc Furnace Reactive Power to Improve Compensator Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electric arc furnaces (EAFs) are regarded as one of the major sources of voltage fluctuation in power systems which can contribute to a phenomenon known as flicker. One of the most convenient ways to mitigate flicker is employing static VAr compensators (SVCs). By employing prediction models to forecast EAF reactive power SVC performance can be improved very noticeably. In this paper a Grey system model is proposed to predict the reactive power and the efficiency of this method is investigated. Streszczenie.

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 کاملA Probabilistic Three-Phase Time Domain Electric Arc Furnace Model based on analytical method
An electric arc furnace (EAF) is known as nonlinear and time variant load that causes power quality (PQ) problems such as, current, voltage and current harmonics, voltage flicker, frequency changes in power system. One of the most important problems to study the EAF behavior is the choice of a suitable model for this load. Hence, in this paper, a probabilistic three-phase model is proposed base...

متن کاملSVC Light® for powerful flicker reduction from EAF operation
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 po...
