Embodiment Construction

[0050] figure 1 An electric arc furnace system 10 is shown, which may be used for melting scrap metal, and which comprises an electric arc furnace 12 and its control equipment 14 .

[0051] The electric arc furnace 12 includes a vessel 16 which can be cooled, for example, with a cooling device 18 . In addition, the electric arc furnace 12 includes one or more electrodes 20 that may be moved within the vessel 16 using hydraulic equipment or an electric drive 22 .

[0052] Electrical energy for heating the interior of vessel 16 (for example for melting scrap metal) is supplied by a transformer 24 interconnected with a converter 26 . Transformer 24 is powered by grid 28 . Typically, the converter 26 can be located on the primary side or on the secondary side of the transformer 24 .

[0053] For example, converter 26 may be a rectifier, and arc furnace 12 may be considered a DC arc furnace. It is also possible that the converter 26 is a chopper, buck converter or other AC to A...

Abstract

A control device (14) for an electric arc furnace (12) comprises an electric arc furnace control module (32) for controlling the electric arc furnace (12) and a flicker module (30) for determining a flicker value (36a, 36b, 36c) in an electrical network (28) powering the electric arc furnace (12), where the electric arc furnace control module (32) is adapted to control the electric arc furnace (12) based on the flicker value (36a, 36b, 36c), and wherein the electric arc furnace control module (32) and the flicker module (30) are integrated into one structural component (14).

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with the international application number PCT / EP2018 / 052306, the international application date is January 30, 2018, and the Chinese application number is 201880008282.6. technical field [0002] The invention relates to flicker reduction in electrical grids. In particular, the invention relates to a control device for an electric arc furnace, an electric arc furnace system and a method for controlling an electric arc furnace. Background technique [0003] An electric arc furnace system provides power at an AC or DC voltage to at least one electrode that generates an electric arc for heating the furnace. Typically, in order to optimize the arc furnace process, the power supplied to the electrodes is controlled. For example, the position of the electrodes can be controlled to adjust the voltage (via the length of the arc). In addition, the current through the electrodes can be controlled...
