The document introduces the application of ABB Advanced Power Electronics STATCOM for arc furnace compensation. STATCOM can improve the efficiency of the iron melting process and reduce power outages by improving the quality of the electrical grid.
The document introduces ABB's Advanced Power Electronics STATCOM designed for arc furnace compensation in Indonesia. It explains the problems caused by arc furnace disturbances on the grid and presents the STATCOM solution that stabilizes voltage, improves power factor, and reduces harmonics.
Technical details include the use of three‑level IGCT phase modules, water‑cooled converter units, and the nominal specifications such as +/-10 MVAr reactive power at 20 kV. Customer benefits and reliability information are also provided.
