MPC-based energy efficiency improvement in a pusher type billets reheating furnace
Abstract:
The research reported in this paper proposes an Advanced Process Control system, denoted “i.Process | Steel – RHF”, oriented to energy efficiency improvement in a pusher type billets reheating furnace located in an Italian steel plant. A tailored control method based on a two-layer Model Predictive Control strategy has been created that involves cooperating modules.…
