Abstract:Electrical Arc Furnaces (EAF's) are commonly employed in industry to produce molten steel by melting iron and scrap steel. EAF's can be a source of power quality problems and a potential threat to nearby generators. This study examines the effects of a 40MVA EAF operating at Hoeganaes in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) power system, particularly the effects on the power generators at Gallatin Plant. It also attempts to define the role of FACTS/ESS in correcting EAF induced problems in the TVA system. The … Show more
