    The work focuses on the possibilities of improving the Static Var Compensator (SVC) control system for more effective reduction of the flicker effect. The studied SVC control system consists of an open control loop, which provides a fast response to dynamic changes in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) power, and a closed control loop, which provides precise control to ensure the required value of the power factor in the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The improvement consists in the use of alternative techniques for signal processing of input control variables. The first alternative technique is the use of Second Order Generalized Integrator (SOGI), which is also used in other related applications. The second alternative technique is to use the flicker weighting function, which corresponds to the function used to measure the flicker effect using a standardized flicker meter. Experimental laboratory equipment and theoretical model in frequency domain was used to verify the properties of the proposed techniques. To simulate the dynamic behavior of EAF, data measured from real operation were used, which were implemented into an experiment using VSC. Analysis of measured data and data obtained from laboratory apparatus shows high similarity. The experiments were carried out in several variants to reflect the differences in the various stages of the production process in the EAF. For all variants, the resulting flicker effect was evaluated and the individual techniques were compared with each other and with the results of other works.
