Abstract

A mathematical model of molten steel level for continuous casting process is presented, where the molten steel level, input and output flow in the mold, the relation between stopper position and input flow etc. are considered. The mathematical model is implemented and simulated by using MATLAB. Comparing the result of molten steel level from the simulator with that of real plant, the performance of the model is shown to be reasonable. By using this simulator, it is shown that PI controller with variable P gain, adjusted by fuzzy logic system, has better control result than conventional PI controller.

본 논문은 연속 주조 공정에서의 용강 높이에 대한 수학적인 비선형모델을 유도하는데, 여기에는 용강 높이, 몰드내의 입출력 유량, 스토퍼의 위치와 입력유량의 관계 등이 고려되었다. 비선형 모델은 MATLAB을 사용하여 구현되었으며 실제 데이터와 비교하여 수학적 모델이 유효함을 확인하였다. 구현된 비선형 모델을 사용하여, 퍼지 시스템에 의하여 변화하는 $K_p$값을 가지는 퍼지 PI 제어기를 사용하여, 기존에 사용되던 PI 제어기보다 나은 제어 성능 및 외란에의 강인성을 가짐을 시뮬레이션으로 보였다.
