Power factor compensation and harmonic filtration in integrated steel plants is a tool to reduce stress in electrical system. The paper focuses on energy efficiency issues and advantages with compensation and harmonic filtration. The paper presents comparative study of compensation requirement in various steel plant units. It would be interesting to find that requirement is the most in Rolling Mills, BOF, CCP, BF & Sinter Plant. In fact the entire steel plant is energy guzzler and with advent of drives, automation and precision requirement, fanning out electrical system stress has become more important and crucial… - Anil Kumar Choudhary, Md Mobinul Islam
