The operation of the 6-ton DC arc furnace was not only disturbing the grid but also other customers in the neighborhood. Finally, the steel plant had to stand still in daytime, which of course reduced productivity and increased operational costs. A tailored Merus™ STATCOM solution delivered real-time reactive power compensation, ensuring efficient flicker mitigation. Stable voltage reduced melting time and increased productivity. Grid compliance allowed the customer to operate the plant even in daytime.

To ensure that harmonic distortions remain below the limits specified in IEEE 519 – 1992, design options for 6-pulse variable speed drives with active harmonic filters and active front end (AFE) drives were evaluated. Merus Power was asked to provide a detailed technical comparison. 6-pulse standard variable speed drives with active harmonic filters proved to be the by far superior design. Not only were they commercially more viable, but they also had a number of other technical advantages over an active front end (AFE) solution.
