AURA Digital Feeders for Low-Impact Electric Arc Furnaces

Conversion from integrated to electric route in presence of weak grids and connection of steelplant to renewable power call for alternative technology in power feeding Electric Arc Furnaces.<br/>This paper introduces a new family of IGBT based electronics modules named AURA capable of feeding melting furnaces from 5 to 350 MVA.<br/>Use of modular concept and state-of-the-art electronics guarantees best efficiency and highest power density, with a minimal impact to the grid.<br/>Proprietary control algorithms and innovative modulation technologies ensure high power transfer and fast control. <br/>AURA family is EcoGrid ready, allowing direct interface with renewables.
