TORRES BREFFE, Orlys Ernesto; ESPINOSA DOMINGUEZ, Julio; REVUELTA CAPABLANCA, César  and  RODRIGUEZ BENITEZ, Alexis Leandro. An integral solution for the electricity supply problems of Antillana de Acero. Energética [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.2, e2901.  Epub Aug 31, 2020. ISSN 1815-5901.

Steel mills with electric arc furnaces, such as the José Martí company commonly known as Antillana de Acero; they are industries that use the heat produced by a controlled short circuit to obtain the steel. These steel mills need a stable and high voltage to be able to melt efficiently and at the same time, they are a powerful consumer of active power for the National Electroenergetic System. The objective of this work was the realization of a study of the conditions of the Antillana de Acero company, where the main causes that affect their productivity and the effects that these cause to our SEN were exposed. Three variants were studied, as a solution to these problems and one of them was selected from a technical point of view, with the focus of increasing the productivity of this company from the results obtained in the simulations.

Keywords : Antillana de Acero; BESS; electric arc furnace; harmonics.
