Modeling of Voltage Fluctuations Generated by Arc Furnaces
Source abstract
Abstract
Arc furnaces can be classified as electricity receivers, which largely affect the quality of electricity in the power system. Voltage fluctuations are the main disturbance generated by arc furnaces. The effects of voltage fluctuations include the phenomenon of flickering light. Apart from voltage fluctuations, arc devices, to a lesser extent, are the source of current and voltage asymmetry, voltage curve distortion, and voltage dips. The main purpose of theoretical considerations is to assess the voltage fluctuations generated by arc furnaces. The article presents a model of an arc device in which the arc has been replaced by a voltage whose value depends on the arc length. It presents also the results of the analysis of measurements of the parameters characterizing voltage fluctuations and flicker indicators.
