Can EAF model available in PSCAD be used for submerged arc furnaces?
Submerged arc furnaces have submerged arcs as electrodes are submerged in molten metal. EAF normally are open arc types. The model in PSCAD is based on long arc/short arc phenomenon which is typically applicable for EAFs. SAF have relatively stabilized arcs as compared to EAFs. Hence the arc based models of EAF may not be able to simulate accurately or correctly tthe SAF operation & its contribution to Pst in associated power system
