A numerical modeling of nonlinear load behavior using artificial neural networks

In this paper it is performed a numerical study of the voltage-current characteristic of an electric arc. To predict voltages and currents values, a multi-layer perceptron Artificial Neural Networks was used under the Matlab 2012 environment. The study is based on actual recorded data obtained from a 100 tones AC Electric Arc Furnace. Results obtained by simulation are compared with the measured one.
