Hierarchical control for energy savings in the steel industry. Fourth annual report, July 1, 1983-September 30, 1984. Final report, July 1, 1982-September 30, 1984
This report summarizes and references research on steel mill processes with the objective of developing a hierarchical computer control system to control processes and conserve energy in a steel mill producing flat rolled, strip, sheet steel. References are given for a large number of more detailed technical documents prepared by PLAIC on the modelling and control of various steel making processes, scheduling techniques, human factors considerations, and other topics related to the proposed hierarchical control system. Topics specifically covered in this report present the progress obtained in studies of overall production scheduling, of direct rolling and hot charging scheduling practices, of the theoretical development of hierarchical control concepts, of coordination practices in the hierarchy, of blast furnace dynamic models, and of coke oven dynamic models. Also included are measures taken to assure a technology transfer of project results to the steel industry.
