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...

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness and resilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing Electric Arc and Basic Oxygen Furnace steel slags. After initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electric Microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. Each set was treated replac...

In this paper we compare different evolutionary algorithm approaches and parameters used to optimize the output of neural network committee trained on regression problems. This is especially useful for large and complex datasets. We used the methodology presented in this paper to optimize the output of the committee to predict the temperature in the electric arc furnace in one of the steelworks.

This paper present the results obtained by simulation for the functioning regime improvement of an UHP Electric Arc Furnace. Because the nonlinearity of the electric arc the EAF functioning regime are perturbed from three causes: the current harmonics, the reactive power and the unbalanced load. In this paper there are study the possibilities of harmonics filtering and compensate the reactive p...

rapid expansions of new location-based services signify the need for finding accurate localization techniques for indoor environments. among different techniques, rss-based  schemes and in particular oneof its variants which is based on graph-based semi-supervised learning (g-ssl) are widely-used approaches the superiority of this scheme is that it has low setup/training cost and at the same ti...

The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system for control the harmonics filters, the reactive power compensation installation and the electrodes position, in order to obtain a high val...

This paper presents a current control for a three-phase electric arc furnace of direct action. In order to do this, a fuzzy control system is proposed. The fuzzy system is a Mamdani fuzzy model and the environment used is Matlab. It has the current deviations as inputs and electrode speeds as outputs. Modifying the position of the electrodes, different arc lengths will be achieved. Also, a simu...
