  4. Abstract:
  5. The nonlinear and time varying nature of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) create flicker, harmonics, and voltage/current unbalances. Nowadays to improve the performance of EAFs and the power quality problems of electrical systems around them high speed compensators like STATCOM are needed. This paper uses a time domain model for electric arc furnaces and a new model of STATCOM respectively for creating and improving mentioned power quality problems. In this paper, first we investigate and simulate electric arc furnace and STATCOM using SIMULINK/PSB. Second, we simulate a network including them completely. The proposed models take into account arcing conditions and associated effects improvement as well.©2008 IEEE
