  3. Abstract:
  4. For steel industries optimum operation with high efficiency is of the first importance. On the other hand, extra investments in the supply side of electric arc furnaces may have been seen as redundant cost. Therefore, to improve the system efficiency, devices such as SVCs or STATCOMs can be employed. In this paper, the benefits of dynamic shunt reactive compensation by SVCs in steel industries are investigated. It is shown that this operation leads to optimization in steel production process and is completely beneficial from economic point of view. Supply system of a typical arc furnace is simulated using MATLAB software and the effects of a compensator on the operating characteristics of an arc furnace are shown
