Title: Assessment of light flicker mitigation using shunt compensators
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to compare the relative effectiveness of shunt compensators in mitigating light flicker caused by arc furnace. A test system comprising an arc furnace model built in PSCAD/EMTDC is simulated with and without the static Var compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Compensation characteristics of the devices are measured in terms of flicker severity indices (P/sub st/) using IEC compliant flicker meter model developed in PSCAD/EMTDC. The simulation results demonstrate that the STATCOM has superior flicker reduction capacity than the SVC due to its inherently faster response.
