The power quality can affect the performance of the electrical equipment.Generally the power quality refers to the voltage quality and the current quality, as an end user we cannot ensure the current quality as it depends on the type of the load connected to the system, so as to improve the overall power quality it is the need of the hour to maintain a proper voltage quality so as to uplift the overall power quality.Eleetrie are furnaces (EAF) are commonly used in steel industry. Unfortunately, nonlinear characteristics of the are furnace and its stochastic behavior bring about many problems, e.g. voltage flicker and waveform distortions.The AC furnaces are usually modelled using combined models which divide the phenomenon taking place in real objects into a deterministic and stochastic or chaotic parts.Modelling and simulation for various conditions is done using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment to verify the feasiINTRODUCTION: An electric are furnace is a furnace that heats material by means of an electric are. Electric are furnaces are usually modelled using combined models which divide the phenomenon taking place in real objects into a deterministic and a stochastic or chaotic parts. The development of a realistic arc model is a demanding task because of its stochastic and nonlinear nature.The are ignites and extinguishes in a random way especially in the beginning of the EAF work cycle. The are voltage-current (V-I) characteristic changes during the melting process. Most of the models worked out so far are two-step ~ they consist of a deterministic part extended further with the help of chaotic, stochastic or modulated components.This project will discuss the electric are furnace behaviour with the stochastic component. LITERATURE SURVEY: Due to the nonlinear and chaotic nature of the Electric Arc Fumace (EAFs), Voltage flicker and harmonics are introduced in electrical networks, and these are the main disturbances associated with power quality. Hence, for investigating flicker and harmonics introduced by the operation of an are furnace, precise models of Electric Are Furnace (EAF) are desirable.

This paper explains the current controlled non-linear resistance model of the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The model derived clearly explains the different operating stages in the Electric Are Furnace (EAF) Rahmatollah Hooshmand, Mahdi Banejad , Mahdi Torabian Esfahani “ A new Time Domain Model For Electric Arc Furnace” explains the different time domain models, which are explained with precise approximations made on VI characteristics without the necessity of the initial conditions of the EAP. This model is an efficient model with accurate results and closely resembles the actual VI characteristics of Electric Are Furnace. And also the dynamic behavior of the EAF is also referred from this paperOBJECTIVE: It is hard to define the stochastic structure of EAF loads having rapid changes. For this reason, the main issue for examining PQ problems of EAFs is modelling the electrical are.A mathematical characteristic equation will be defined by using the data related to the electrical are current and voltage characteristic and curve fitting methods with the help of Matlab curve fitting toolbox. Also by using the presented model and a phase equivalent circuit model the harmonic distortions have been compared to experimental data and the performance of the model in defining harmonic effects has been evaluated. IMPLEMENTATION OF WORK: In order to define the dynamic V-I characteristic of the electrical are, a simulation model has been developed by utilizing experimental studies and employing curve fitting methods with MATLAB/SIMULINK.
