The control problem of the burning process carbonaceous products

Abstract

Feasibility of model predictive control is shown based on the analysis of the existing control systems for carbonaceous products burning of the carbon graphite production. The considered restrictions that should be imposed on the control to ensure, on the one hand, the required duration of the burning process to achieve the required conditions by all the blanks and, on the other hand, to prevent overheating of the blanks, which leads to an excess of the permissible temperature difference in the blanks and, therefore, to product defects. The mathematical formulation of the control problem is shown, the purpose of which is to increase the energy efficiency of the burning process, considering structural and technological limitations.
