Abstract

An electric arc furnace being used in the steel industry is a time-varying non-linear load causing voltage fluctuations to the power system. Flicker can be defined as the effect produced on the human visual perception by a changing emission of light lamps subjected to magnitude fluctuations of their supply voltage. The level of flicker depends on the amplitude, frequency and duration of the voltage fluctuations. In this paper, the voltage fluctuation problem in an 154[kV] system due to the electric arc furnace loads is investigated and the analysis results of the static var compensator application for the voltage flicker mitigation are presented and evaluated by the IEC 61000-3-7.

제철소에서 사용되고 있는 전기로는 전력계통에 전압 변동을 일으키며 시간에 따라 변하는 비선형 부하이다. 플리커는 전압 변동의 크기에 따라 램프의 방출 변화에 의한 인간의 지각 효과로 정의된다. 플리커 레벨은 전압 변동의 크기, 주파수 및 기간에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 전기로 부하로 인한 154[kV] 시스템에서의 전압 변동 문제를 측정하고, 플리커 저감을 위한 SVC 적용 결과를 분석하고, IEC 61000-3-7에 의하여 플리커를 평가하였다.
