electric arc furnaces (eafs) are unbalanced, nonlinear and time varying loads, which can cause many problems in the power system quality. in steel industries, the two arc furnaces often perform in parallel and stand on a single bus, which surely deteriorate the power quality. in this paper, in order to study and analyze the harmful effects of parallel operation of eafs, first, a three phase arc...

The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...

Electric arc furnace baghouse dust (EAFD), a waste by-product of the steelmaking process, contains the elements that are volatilized from the charge during the melting (Cr, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd). The results of leaching tests show that the concentration of these elements exceeds the regulatory limits. Consequently, EAFD cannot be disposed of in ordinary landfill sites without stabilization of the ...

This paper investigates the control strategy for the electrical energy input to three phase electric arc ferrosilicon furnace. The classical PD fuzzy logic controller has two inputs. These inputs are the error in the V-I characteristic and the rate of the error in V-I characteristic. When the simulation result of this controller is compared with conventional PD type, it was shown that requires ...

In electric arc furnace steelmaking units, the essential parameters are reducing price, increasing production and decreasing environmental pollution. Electric arc furnaces are the largest users of electric energy in industry. The most important techniques that can be used to reduce the electric energy consumption in electric arc furnaces are scrap preheating, stirring, use of burners and hot ch...
