摘要
This paper shows that an electric are furnace off-gas system can provide valuable manipulated variables for feedback control which can improve furnace efficiency and contribute to safety in the workplace. Model predictive control (MPC) is used to illustrate this concept using practically motivated control objectives. An initial verification of a non-linear furnace model with plant data is shown. The design of MPC controllers for the furnace is discussed and results are shown by way of simulation. Evaluation of the final controller against traditional manual operation is done, and the setpoint tracking capability of the controller is tested. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
