Abstract

Large steel industries have time-varying nonlinear loads including electric arc furnaces. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of 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 main objective of the static var compensator(SVC) is to maintain the rms voltage at the point of common coupling within the limit. In this paper, harmonic and flicker mitigation studies with and without the SVC are investigated and are evaluated by the IEC 61000-3-6 and IEC 61000-3-7.

규모가 큰 제철소는 전기로를 포함한 시간에 따라 변하는 비선형 부하를 가지고 있다. 이들 비선형 부하는 고조파 전류를 발생시키고, 전력계통의 전압을 왜곡시킨다. 플리커는 전압 변동의 크기에 따라 램프의 방출 변화에 의한 인간의 지각 효과로 정의된다. SVC의 주 목적은 공통결합점에서 전압을 한계값 이하로 유지하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 SVC 투입 전후의 고조파와 플리커 저감 효과를 분석하고, IEC 61000-3-6과 IEC 61000-3-7에 의해 평가하였다.
