A Systematic Approach for Optimal Design of SVC Controller to Reduce the Disturbances in Electric Arc Furnace Using Generic Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Static Var Compensator (SVC) is one of FACTS devices which is used in power systems in order to have a better voltage quality. The fluctuations of voltage and current of the grid connected to electric arc furnace causes power quality problems in the network. SVC, as a fast reactive power control equipment, plays an important role in improving the voltage profile and the transient dynamics of the system arising from the nature of the arc. In this paper the effect of implementing SVC in Mobarakeh Steel Company, for mitigating the voltage transient of power system which is connected to an electric arc furnace, is studied. Then the coefficients of the SVC PI controller are optimized using genetic algorithm and the simulation results are presented.
