PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF WATER DISCHARGE IN THE SECONDARY COOLING ZONE OF A CONTINUOUS CASTER

摘要

This article examines the problem of determining water discharge in the secondary cooling zone of acontinuous caster in the automated-control regime. It is proposed that the problem be solved by the ModelPredictive Control (MPC) method. The method is described along with aspects of its use to solve the givenproblem. Results are presented from numerical experiments.
