Harmonic distortion in a steel plant with induction furnaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deregulation of the electric power industry is making power quality a topic of increasing importance. Suitable corrective actions for the reduction of total harmonic distortion introduced into the distribution network by industrial loads are more necessary than ever. For the design of these corrective actions simulation has been proved to be a very useful tool. In this paper, the simulation of an active filter for the reduction of the voltage total harmonic distortion created by a steel plant is presented.

Power Quality and Electrical Arc Furnaces
The chapter covers general issues related to power quality in Electric Arc Furnaces. The use of electric arc furnaces (EAF) for steelmaking has grown dramatically in the last decade. Of the steel made today 36% is produced by the electric arc furnace route and this share will increase to 50 by 2030. The electric arc furnaces are used for melting and refining metals, mainly iron in the steel pro...
