Mpc Control of the Refining Stage of an Electric Arc Furnace
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this article was to design a MPC controller for the refining stage of an electric arc furnace. A reduced version of the generic EAF model will be used it simplifies the controller. The carbon content is controllable only in one direction it can only decrease asymptotically. The goal of the MPC controller will be to steer the temperature to the desired value before the carbon content reaches its target value. A controller design was done with this goal in mind and verified through simulation. The controller was found to be sensitive to plant parameter variations due to its open-loop nature, but can be improved if timely measurements are taken of required variables such as temperature and carbon.

Path Planning and Control of an Industrial Robot Used for Opening Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the popular methods of steel production from steel scraps. The plasma arc is used in EAF to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal is drained from the EAF through the tap hole. Nowadays, it is critical to use Automated/robotic tools for opening the tap hole with oxygen lancing. Because many workers have been blinde...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling of a Robot Manipulator for Opening the Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...
متن کاملSeparation of Manganese and Iron from Reductive Leaching Liquor of Electric Arc Furnace Dust of Ferromanganese Production Units by Solvent Extraction
Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) of ferromanganese production units, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, manganese, zinc, iron, silica, calcium, aluminum and other elements. A hydrometallurgical route based on solvent extraction technique was investigated for selective separation of manganese from the dust. Leaching of the EAFD resulted in an aqueous feed containing 4 g/L of manganes...
متن کاملThe New Definitions for the Power Terms in Distorted and Unbalanced Conditions and Calculation of these Terms for an Electric Arc Furnace
The rapid increase of non-linear loads in the last three decades has caused electrical quantities such as voltages and currents in 3-phase distribution systems to become distorted waveforms. This paper reviews, explains and discusses some new concepts, definitions and new available theory in the unbalanced and distorted systems. The usefulness of the proposed practical definitions is investigat...
متن کاملElectric Arc Furnace Slag and Blast Furnace Dust, Use for the Manufacture of Asphalt Concrete for Roads
This paper analyzes how feasible it is to use electric arc furnace slag as coarse aggregate, and blast furnace dust as fine aggregate in the manufacture of hot asphalt concrete for roads. Three mixtures were designed using the Ramcodes methodology, the M1 mixture of control with conventional materials, the M2 mixture replacing 50% and the M3 mixture replacing 100% of the conventional aggregates...
