Abstract

The industrial static var compensator reacting power reserve assessment methodology for balancing internal voltage sags is developed in this paper. This methodology makes it possible to determine the average value of the compensated voltage sag based on the available source data on the power supply system (PSS) and the parameters of the electrical receiver loads. The experimental data on voltage sags at the metallurgical enterprise CJSC «MMK Metalurji» in Iskenderun, Turkey, is used as initial information. The effect of voltage sags on the sensitive electric receivers, such as frequency converters (FC) with active rectifiers (AR) reliability, is examined on the basis of this enterprise. The methodology for voltage sags compensation through the use of powerful SVC reserves of electric arc furnaces (EAF) is proposed. The results obtained allowed us to introduce the concept of damping coefficient, which is defined as the average relative deviation between the required reactive power at single-phase and three-phase voltage sags. A mathematical analysis of the SVC required reactive power on the magnitude of the voltage sags dependence is carried out. This analysis makes it possible to develop a new approach in the design of intra-shop power supply systems. The results obtained are of great practical importance for compact metallurgical enterprises, including electric steelmaking and rolling production.
