An electric arc furnace being used in the steel industry is a time-varying non-linear load causing voltage fluctuations to the power system. Flicker can be defined as the effect produced on the human visual perception by a changing emission of light lamps subjected to magnitude fluctuations of their supply voltage. The level of flicker depends on the amplitude, frequency and duration of the voltage fluctuations. In this paper, the voltage fluctuation problem in an 154[kV] system due to the electric arc furnace loads is investigated and the analysis results of the static var compensator application for the voltage flicker mitigation are presented and evaluated by the IEC 61000-3-7.

We investigate a fog-detection CCT control system using low deck lighting as a solution to the forward visibility of pole-type street lamps employed on existing roads. The lighting standards were met with a light source that has less compared with those of pole-type street lamps. The results show that the transmission rate was increased by changing the color temperature by automatically recognizing fog in bad weather and minimizing the phenomenon of lighting. In addition, it was allowed to create a safer and more comfortable driving environment for drivers owing to flicker or light pollution of existing pole-type street lamps. As a result, if lighting is used at a lower level than pole-type street lamps, the accident rate caused by securing the driver's forward visibility can be reduced sharply and existing problems can be resolved.
