Summary:In this document, the effects of UFPCs on the electric arc furnace feed system at a steel production company were investigated. This new operative strategy was determined in function of the requirements necessary for a stable arch and maximum productivity. On the basis of these new operational conditions, the adequacy of the existing flicker compensation system was examined, in terms of load balancing, power factor correction, and flickering. All of the investigations detailed in this study are supported by hardware in real time, and loop within the simulation. Further, a summarized description of a power quality work station is presented herein.
