摘要
Today, dc are furnaces are supplied by thyristor rectifiers. Because of the phase control strategy on the rectifiers, the arc voltage swings induce large reactive power variations on the power network and a static var compensator (SVC) or a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is always added to avoid flicker effect. In this paper, the authors present a new control strategy which suppress the flicker effect and increases the furnace productivity. To supply the dc arc furnace, the ac/dc converter is based on diode rectifiers and choppers with a constant power control strategy. Consequently, the ac/dc converter can operate without a STATCOM or an SVC. To evaluate the gain in flicker and furnace productivity, simulations are done with Matlab software. These simulations take into account arc voltage measurements on a 100-MW dc arc furnace and allow for comparison of the different solutions.
