SUMMARY:Implementation of IGBT based electrical modules at electric arc furnaces for green steel production
DESCRIPTION:Reduction of CO2 emission in steel production and transformation to green energy sources demand a highly efficient and flexible power supply for electric arc furnaces (EAF). Integrated BOF routes usually provide very weak grids, which do not allow the connection of demanding EAFs without major changes in the power network topology.

The new family of IGBT based electrical modules is capable of feeding EAFs from 5 MVA up to 350 MVA. A fully modular technology concept provides the demanded efficiency and power density in order to serve the needs of the green steel transformation. Using this innovative modulation, technologies and proprietary control algorithms, which take full advantage of the power electronic capabilities, ensure highest power transfer and lowest impact on the grid’s power quality.

A real project case is showing the challenges and needs of the implementation of EAFs for green steel production, and how the fully modular technology allows our journey into a CO2 reduced and green energy powered steel production.
