Electric-Arc Furnace Sample Clauses

Electric-Arc Furnace. The electric-arc method uses high-current electric arcs to melt DRI and steel scrap (or steel scrap alone) and convert them into liquid steel of a specified chemical composition and temperature. The major charge material of electric-arc steelmaking is scrap steel, and its availability at low cost and proper quality is essential. The electric-arc furnace (EAF) is a squat, cylindrical vessel made of heavy steel plates; it has a dish-shaped refractory hearth and three vertical electrodes that reach down through a dome-shaped, removable roof.51 To produce 1,000 kg of crude steel, the main inputs for the DRI-EAF route are: 710 kg of steel scrap (account around 75% of EAF steel cost); 586 kg of iron ore; 150 kg of coal; 88 kg of limestone; 2.3 GJ of electricity. An EAF can be charged with 100% steel scrap.52 Recycling this steel accounts for significant energy and raw material savings: over 1,400 kg of iron ore, 740 kg of coal, and 120 kg of limestone are saved for every 1,000 kg of steel scrap made into new steel.53 To date, steel is mainly produced via BF-BOF and scrap-EAF routes. A big difference between the two steelmaking processes, besides the inputs needs and savings previously analysed, is the capital investment costs involved: whilst a typical integrated (i.e. BOF-route) steel mill today costs ~€980 per tonne of installed capacity, a medium-size EAF-route mini-mill today costs under €270 per tonne in terms of the initial capital outlay.54 Beside these just listed, there are also relevant differences on the energy required that is summarized in the following table.55 BF-BOF route (sum of the processes below) 73 405 3,517 9,117 - Coke production 6 64 906 1,306 - Sintering pelletising 25 44 358 561 - Blast Furnace 31 236 2,236 6,783 - BOF 11 61 17 467 EAF route 403 747 22 517 As the table shows, for BF-BOF route the highest consumption is of thermal type, related to the furnaces and the peak of thermal consumption is in BFs. On the opposite, EAF reduces widely the thermal energy consumption and does not increase proportionally the electric energy consumption, thus making it less energy-intensive and preferable, when possible, due to availability of scraps and the quality of the final product. The main differences of the two technologies that have just been analysed are summarized in the table below: 51 xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/technology/steel/Electric-arc-steelmaking 52 xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx 53 xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/blog/sustainability-of-the...

Electric-Arc Furnace if there are sufficient quantities of scrap available, the first step of transforming iron ore into pig or sponge iron can be skipped entirely. Scrap can simply be heated and cast in an Electric Arc Furnace, saving the raw materials and energy involved in transforming raw materials. The CO2 intensity of recycling depends on the electricity generating mix, but is typically around 0.4 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel produced. (IEA, 2009) However, as explained earlier, the ultimate limit on EAF-recycling is the availability of scrap metal. According to modelling conducted under the IEA’s BLUE scenario – which assumes CO2 emissions are cut by 38% from 2006 levels by 2050 – recycling would only be able to represent 54% of world steel production. (IEA, 2009) Steel production from scrap currently makes up of the order of 30% of world production.

  • Electric Storage Resources Developer interconnecting an electric storage resource shall establish an operating range in Appendix C of its LGIA that specifies a minimum state of charge and a maximum state of charge between which the electric storage resource will be required to provide primary frequency response consistent with the conditions set forth in Articles 9.5.5, 9.5.5.1, 9.5.5.2, and 9.5.5.3 of this Agreement. Appendix C shall specify whether the operating range is static or dynamic, and shall consider (1) the expected magnitude of frequency deviations in the interconnection; (2) the expected duration that system frequency will remain outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (3) the expected incidence of frequency deviations outside of the deadband parameter in the interconnection; (4) the physical capabilities of the electric storage resource; (5) operational limitations of the electric storage resources due to manufacturer specification; and (6) any other relevant factors agreed to by the NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner, and Developer. If the operating range is dynamic, then Appendix C must establish how frequently the operating range will be reevaluated and the factors that may be considered during its reevaluation. Developer’s electric storage resource is required to provide timely and sustained primary frequency response consistent with Article 9.5.5.2 of this Agreement when it is online and dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. This excludes circumstances when the electric storage resource is not dispatched to inject electricity to the New York State Transmission System and/or dispatched to receive electricity from the New York State Transmission System. If Developer’s electric storage resource is charging at the time of a frequency deviation outside of its deadband parameter, it is to increase (for over-frequency deviations) or decrease (for under-frequency deviations) the rate at which it is charging in accordance with its droop parameter. Developer’s electric storage resource is not required to change from charging to discharging, or vice versa, unless the response necessitated by the droop and deadband settings requires it to do so and it is technically capable of making such a transition.

  • Electric Service 1. The Authority shall make available Electric Service to enable the Customer to receive the Allocation in accordance with this Agreement, Service Tariff No. WNY-2 and the Rules. 2. The Customer shall not be entitled to receive Electric Service under this Agreement for any EP and/or RP allocation unless such EP and/or RP allocation is identified in Schedule A. 3. The Authority will provide, and the Customer shall accept and pay for, Electric Service with respect to the Allocation specified in Schedule A.

The provision of Electric Service associated with the Allocation is an unbundled service separate from the transmission and delivery of power and energy to the Customer. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s local electric utility, not the Authority, shall be responsible for delivering the Allocation to the Facility specified in Schedule A in accordance with the applicable Utility Tariff(s). 6. The Contract Demand for the Customer’s Allocation may be modified by the Authority if the amount of Firm Power and Firm Energy available for sale as EP or RP from the Project is modified as required to comply with any ruling, order, or decision of any regulatory or judicial body having jurisdiction, including but not limited to FERC. Any such modification will be made on a pro rata basis to all EP and RP customers, as applicable, based on the terms of such ruling, order, or decision. 7. The Contract Demand may not exceed the Allocation. 8. The Customer’s Facility must be metered by the Customer’s local electric utility in a manner satisfactory to the Authority, or another metering arrangement satisfactory to the Authority must be provided (collectively, “Metering Arrangement”). A Metering Arrangement that is not satisfactory to the Authority shall be grounds, after notice to the Customer, for the Authority to modify, withhold, suspend, or terminate Electric Service to the Customer. If a Metering Arrangement is not made to conform to the Authority’s requirements within thirty
