Electric Arc Furnace

QUESTION:

I'm an industrial engineering student and I'm making a project about harmonics. Now I'm trying to modelizate an arc furnace in Matlab 6 power system blockset but it's very difficult. I have read several papers about "Arc Furnace Models" but it's hard to translate them to Matlab powersystem blockset. Could somebody help me? Somebody have any block about an arc furnace or electric arc? Could somebody send me more information?

ANSWER:

I think I understand you; you want to "model the harmonics of an arc furnace using the Power System blockset in Matlab6." I am a user of Matlab, Simulink and a number of other toolboxes. However, I do not use the Power System blockset. I would think that there would be Power System modelling software on the market better suited to modelling power system harmonics of an arc furnace.
(I say this as I used to look after the intermediate spec'ing of furnace systems at a previous employer.) Well, as your project entails looking at the specifics of the harmonics, and also Matlab, I think its entirely possible you could do it by first principles. Just take the equations you have and start reducing them for input into the Matlab environment. Come up with your own graphical interface - it will probably render more useful output to you. Also, for further assistance, I think you would be better suited to ask for further Matlab assistance from another website, such . (I use it, and post to it somewhat infrequently.)
