Danieli has contracted with Polish steelmaker Cognor to supply a patented Q-One digital feeder from Danieli Automation to improve EAF performance and reduce operating costs to replace the current transformer 48-t EAF in Stalowa Wola, Poland.
The company notes that the Q-One technology reduces electrical power consumption by about 10% and pole consumption by at least 10%, in addition to limited electrical disturbances and a power factor close to unity in medium voltage distribution, avoiding using compensation systems which leads to increased productivity.
Q-One technology can be applied to new installations or existing plants as an upgrade to the small and large smelter capacity with individual power outputs of up to 200MW.
The Q-One system ordered by Polish company Cognor is the 16th order of this new technology and is scheduled to go into production in the summer of 2023.
