New System for Highly Efficient Power Input to Arc Furnaces Causing Minimum Network Disturbances (Room 204)

In order to comply with power quality parameters and to mitigate the disturbing effects of arc furnaces, a compensation system such as SVC or STATCOM is often required to be installed separately on the furnace bus. This paper presents a completely new technology that will actively feed the arc furnace while at the same time minimizing the perturbations caused in the network without any additional compensation. This will result in a paradigm shift in how furnaces will be powered and operated, resulting in increased production while reducing operating and maintenance costs.
