| Summary: | Smelting is a process of refining raw mineral materials that use an electric arc
furnace working principle, which converts electrical energy into heat energy to melt raw
ore. Electric arc furnaces are non-linear loads that consume large amounts of power and
change very quickly over time. The characteristics of electric arc furnaces that fluctuate
rapidly may cause several problems such as system frequency instability. To avoid the
intermittency of an electric arc furnace, a Static Watt Compensator or Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS) can be used. Both of these technologies can maintain system
frequency stability by compensating active power fluctuations of smelter load. In this
study, the use of SWC with BESS will be compared in terms of performance, sizing, and
cost.
The results show that SWC maintains system frequency by absorbing active
power and can only overcome the system's over-frequency condition. Whereas BESS
maintains system frequency by supplying or absorbing active power so that it can
overcome both over-frequency and under-frequency conditions. However, the use of
SWC increases system losses, which causes the total cost of SWC become slightly higher
than BESS. |
