Study of the susceptance control of industrial Static Var Compensator

This paper deals with the simulation of industrial distribution system with electric arc furnace - non-linear load of variable active and reactive power. The simulation is considered with all key features such as passive harmonic filters, Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR), Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) modeled by Cassie Mayer-model of the arc, transformers and other equipment. Management TCR is based on measuring and managing susceptance in the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Results of the simulations is that the device Static Var Compensator (SVC) controlled manner described limit flicker effect and allow to crucially increase the performance of the furnace. The benefit is the ability developed simulation analysis of interactions SVC with modern supplement FACTS devices such as active filters.
