Obiettivo
The objectives of this research project are to improve the performance of high voltage AC electric arc furnaces, which have the advantage of high power input for high productivity with low electrode consumption. In order to utilise these advantages to the full, the stability of long arcs shall be improved by modifying the electrical parameters of the furnace and also by the controlled injection of material into the arcing zone. Improved arc stability reduces current fluctuations, and thus mechanical stresses on the electrodes, as well as flicker in the power supply system. Energy efficiency shall be improved through the use of advanced electrode controllers, by restricting thermal load on the water-cooled panels, and by adopting predictive melt-down control.
