A SIMULINK Study of Electric Arc Furnace Inactive Power Compensation by Using STATCOM

The nonlinear and time varying nature of electric arc furnaces (eafs) create flicker, harmonics,and voltage/current unbalances. nowadays high-speed compensators like stateom can improvethe performance of eafs and the power quality problems of electrical systems around them. thispaper uses a time domain model for electric arc furnaces and a new model of statcomrespectively for creating mentioned power quality problems and inactive power compensation. inthis paper, we investigate and simulate electric arc furnace and statcom using simullnklpsb.then, we simulate a network including them completely. the proposed model takes into accountarcing conditions and some power quality effects improvement.
