In this paper, the coreless, medium frequency induction melting furnace (IMF) system, has been represented by alternative field-data-based models, developed specifically for power quality studies. The IMF operation has been represented by a variable series RL circuit to model the fundamental components of electrical quantities, and a shunt-connected current source, to model the generated harmonics and interharmonics over a typical melting cycle. Both the sinusoidal coding method applied to the major harmonics and interharmonics in the supply line currents obtained from field measurements and also raw data, have been used in the developed models. It has been shown that the sinusoidal coding method can be used to satisfactorily represent the operation of the IMF system as seen from the supply terminals, with a minimum data storage requirement, and can be used to construct efficient IMF databases for power quality studies. The power quality problems of the IMF system, in particular the problematic time-varying interharmonic voltage distortion, and the interaction of those time-varying interharmonic currents with the passive shunt filter installations connected to the same bus have been investigated in detail, using the developed models.

Design and implementation of a hybrid system for the mitigation of PQ problems of medium frequency induction steel melting furnaces Yılmaz, İlker; Durna, Emre; Ermiş, Muammer (2015-10-18) This paper describes a hybrid system for the mitigation of Power Quality (PQ) problems of medium-frequency coreless induction steel melting furnaces. The hybrid system is composed of passive shunt detuned filters and a Hybrid Active Power Filter (HAPF). Since the single-phase load-resonant thyristor inverter of the work coil operates at variable frequency and supplied from a multi-pulse thyristor rectifier, interharmonic current components, due to cross-modulation phenomenon across ac-dc-ac link, appear in ...
Data Mining Framework for Power Quality Event Characterization of Iron and Steel Plants Guder, Mennan; Salor, Ozgul; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ozkan, Baris; Altintas, Erinc (2015-07-01) In this paper, a power quality (PQ) knowledge discovery and modeling framework has been developed for both temporal and spatial PQ event data collected from transformer substations supplying iron and steel (I&S) plants. PQ event characteristics of various I&S plants have been obtained based on clustering and rule discovery techniques. The data are collected by the PQ analyzers, which detect the voltage sags, swells, and interruptions according to the IEC Standard 61000-4-30. The constructed clustering strat...
Online Characterization of Interharmonics and Harmonics of AC Electric Arc Furnaces by Multiple Synchronous Reference Frame Analysis Uz-Logoglu, Eda; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2016-05-01) In this paper, a multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis framework is developed to determine the positive-and negative-sequence components of all interharmonic and harmonic currents produced by alternating current electric arc furnace (AC EAF) installations, which can be considered as balanced but asymmetrical three-phase, three-wire loads on the power system. The aim of developing the MSRF analysis framework is twofold; deep understanding of the EAF characteristics, and fast and accurate gener...
Numerical analysis of an organic Rankine cycle under steady and variable heat input Bamgbopa, Musbaudeen O.; Uzgoren, Eray (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-01) This paper develops a strategy to maintain steady operation of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) by adjusting evaporator flow rates in relation to the available thermal energy. ORC unit under investigation uses R245fa as the working fluid, for which a regression based approach was implemented to evaluate its state properties. Steady and transient models for unit's subcomponents (pump, evaporator, expander and condenser) were developed. Heat source is considered as solar heated water between 80 degrees C and 95...
