Review on characteristic modeling of electric arc furnace and its effects

Development on a country is based on its industrialization and infrastructure, steel is used as a vital part of any building infrastructure, the process of steel making using electric arc furnace (EAF) introduces several power quality disturbances, in this paper, characteristic modeling of electric arc furnace and its effects on power quality is investigated. Several EAF models are modeled and reviewed from power quality assessment. Voltage flicker, Harmonics and Inter harmonics arises in an electrical network due to the non-linear nature of EAF operation. Time domain modeling and frequency domain modeling of an EAF is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and PSCAD simulation software.
