    An arc furnace in Indonesia was causing disturbances on the electrical grid due to the frequent interruption of its arc. ABB installed a +/-10MVAr STATCOM to stabilize the voltage, improve power factor, compensate reactive power, and reduce harmonics on the grid. The STATCOM controls negative sequence currents from the arc furnace to symmetrize the grid. This improves the arc furnace production process, stabilizes the electrical grid, lowers energy costs, and increases reliability.

    STATCOM for arc furnace compensation, Indonesia



    Arc Furnace


    PCS 6000 STATCOM: +/- 10 MVAr unit
    ABB

    Introduction and Main Technical Features

    Arc furnaces used in smelters cause large disturbances on electrical grids. The frequent interruption of the arc leads to voltage
    unbalances and voltage flicker on the electrical grid. The STATCOM has the duty to correct these disturbances and dynamically
    stabilize the voltage, improve the power factor, compensate reactive power, resolve current unbalances and reduce harmonics on
    the grid. By improving the quality of the electrical grid with the STATCOM, the process of melting iron becomes faster and
    cheaper, and outages can be significantly reduced.


    Problem description
    Arc furnaces are used to melt iron for further processing. Such
    furnaces operate by heating the iron via the radiant energy of
    the arc and also by the current passing through the iron. Three-
    phase arc furnaces are famous for their highly unsymmetrical
    (negative sequence) currents, reducing the quality of the
    surrounding electrical grid. A poor grid often means longer
    melting times, and potential for frequent outages.

    Solution
    A +/-10MVAr STATCOM was required to be installed on the
    local industrial 20kV grid. Taking advantage of the
    STATCOMs extended list of features, the reactive power of
    the grid could be regulated as well as compensating the
    negative sequence current of the arc furnace simultaneously.
    This negative sequence compensation results in a symmetrical
    grid. To demonstrate how this is done on the plant, the function
    of the converter using current-phasor diagrams in Figure 1.

    Customer benefits
    Improved production process
    Stabilized electrical grid
    Negative sequence control
    Improved power factor resulting in lower energy costs

    Reliability runs in the family
    The MV STATCOM design is part of ABBs family of PCS
    6000 products which are used for a wide range of applications.
    It uses the same power technology as the ACS 6000 range of
    MV Drives. The standardization of these power electronic
    modules delivers substantial advantages in terms of cost and
    quality. With many PCS 6000 sold worldwide this converter
    has a proven track record and high reliability.


    MV converter
    ACS and PCS 6000 converter units are based on three-level
    IGCT phase modules. The IGCT (Integrated Gate Commutated
    Thyristor) is the state-of-the-art semiconductor element for this
    power range. The converter units are connected by a medium
    voltage DC link (intermediate circuit). The converter modules
    are water cooled with a virtually maintenance free closed loop
    water system equipped with redundant circulating pumps.
