Improved Mayr Model of Electrical Arc Furnace to Analyse Harmonic

Abstract:

Voltage flicker and harmonics are power quality problems which are imposed on power system by electrical arc furnace. To study furnaces and find a solution to remove the negative effects of them, it is needed to have an appropriate electrical arc furnace model. Several methods in time and frequency domain have been presented. One of the time domain methods is Mayr model which has two problems. Firstly, it shows the harmonic components more than the real values. Secondly, it does not involve voltage flicker phenomenon. In this article with the comparison of harmonic components of Mayr model and measured values of arc furnace, an improved Mayr model is introduced. In the presented model, the problems of Mayr model are removed and it shows the real behavior of arc furnace
