Direct digital control of the electric arc furnace
Abstract
Control requirements for electric arc furnace electrode position control, voltage tap changing, least cost mix calculation and maximum demand control are discussed. Schemes for electrode position control are presented, and their performance is compared by digital simulation. Requirements for direct digital control are considered and a scheme for hardware and software implementation of furnace control algorithms is suggested.
