In this paper, the effects of transformer replacement on the electric are furnace power system of an iron and steel plant have been investigated. The new operating strategy has been determined according to stable are and maximum productivity requirements. Based on these new operating conditions, the sufficiency of the existing flicker compensation system in terms of the load balancing, power-factor correction, and flicker have been examined. All investigations made in this work are supported by real-time measurements.

Effects of self-healing on the microstructure, transport, and electrical properties of 100% construction- and demolition-waste-based geopolymer composites ULUGÖL, HÜSEYİN; Günal, Muhammed Faruk; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; YILDIRIM, GÜRKAN; ŞAHMARAN, MUSTAFA (2021-08-01) This study aims to investigate the self-healing capability of engineered geopolymer composites (EGCs) produced with 100% construction and demolition waste (CDW)-based materials. In order to determine the effect of ground granulated blast furnace slag (S) addition on CDW-based mixtures, additional geopolymer mixtures were produced with slag substitution without changing the Si/Al ratio. NaOH is the primary activator; however, Na2SiO3 and Ca(OH)2 are also investigated as additional activators. Half of the spe...
Effects of reactor geometry on dissociating CO2 and electrode degradation in a MHCD plasma reactor Taylan, Onur; Pinero, Daniel; Berberoğlu, Halil (2018-08-01) This paper reports an experimental study on the effects of reactor geometry for dissociating carbon dioxide using a microhollow cathode discharge (MHCD) reactor, and the associated electrode degradation. A MHCD reactor consists of two hollow metal electrodes that are separated by dielectric material. The geometric reactor parameters studied were the dielectric material thickness and the diameter of the reactor hole. Dielectric thicknesses of 150, 300 and 450 mu m and discharge hole diameters of 200, 400 and...
Effect of bypassing the heat transfer fluid on charging in a latent thermal energy storage unit Baghaei Oskouei, Seyedmohsen; Bayer, Özgür (2023-06-01) Horizontal latent thermal energy storage (LTES) systems that use phase change materials (PCMs) are popular and effective methods of alleviating the intermittency of renewable energy sources. The main issue of PCMs is their low thermal conductivity, resulting in long charging times and slow response. In this investigation, a novel method to overcome this issue is proposed by designing bypassing tubes that redirect the flow of heat transfer fluid to the bottom of the horizontal LTES tank, where the melting ra...
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 ...
Effect of Submerged Arc Welding on High Temperature Tensile Properties of P91 Type Steel Aslam, Junaıd; Batıgün, Caner; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2021-9-01) There have been research efforts to increase the efficiency of power plants by improving creep-resistant steels having stable mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The components operating at temperatures between 575°C and 650°C are usually made of P91 (9Cr-1Mo) steel. The application of welding techniques creates a risk of reduction in high-temperature strength and creep resistance, particularly in the heat-affected zone of the weldments. In this study, the effect of the shielded metal ar...
