Badische Stahl-Engineering GmbH developed and applies the most sophisticated simulation tool available in steel industry today: the Farschtschi Network Method (FNM). With this unique simulation tool the optimal design of the EAF high current system is feasible in terms of electrical symmetry, forces on high current cables, torques on mast system and power input performance. The capability of...
Decarbonizing steelmaking is one of the greatest challenges facing our industry today. Electrifying steel production is a pivotal step in reducing CO2 emissions. Over the coming years, the installed base of high-power EAF is expected to grow significantly, which will affect power quality but also EAF performances. To address these challenges, GE Vernova has developed an innovative solution....
Utilities globally are shifting towards stricter power quality requirements. This is largely motivated by increasing number of Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) such as, wind turbine and solar panel connected to utility grids and the outlook of the utility generation mix driven by the decarbonization initiatives. Electrical Arc Furnaces (EAFs) for scrap steel making are some of the most...
Reduction of CO2 emissions in steel production and conversion to green energy sources demand a highly efficient, dynamic and flexible power supply for electric arc furnaces. Due to changes in the power supply grid by installing more renewable energy resources, grids become weaker and weaker. In addition to that, the grid code, especially regarding flicker values becomes more severe, not...
Regulations at the world are accelerating the transition toward a low carbon economy, pushing the industrial sector to reduce the CO2 footprint. Especially EU has set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. However, despite renewable expansion and the increasing attention on the hydrogen economy, these targets are...
