Abstract

The random load variation, as in case of the arc furnaces, determines random voltage variations at the supply bus-bars., the can affect the power quality delivered to other customers, supplied by the same bus-bars. The value of the instantaneous flicker sensation S(t) is measured by means of an instrument, the so-called flickermeter. The setting-up of the flickermeter model is done in Simulink, the simulation tool, in the MATLAB environment. The present paper deals with the case study of an existing ac arc furnace facility. The 110 kV monitoring campaign was conducted using the ION 7600 equipment. The main power quality indices regarding harmonics and flicker levels are reported in the paper with reference to IEEE standards.
