Exploration of operational optimization control system for shaft furnace roasting process and its experiment study
竖炉焙烧过程运行优化控制系统的开发及实验研究

To realize the optimal operation control for the complex shaft-furnace roasting (SFR) process, we develop an operational optimization control (OOC) system on the incorporated operational control platform for process industries. This system is characterized with flexibility, expandability, reusability, openness and modularity. It can support a variety of algorithm realization ways, such as Matlab and Dynamic Link Library (dll). Moreover, algorithm and the system functional modules can be decoupled by embedding algorithm into systems without coupling. Based on this developed OOC system, a hardware-in-loop simulation experiment platform which comprises an operational control layer, a process control layer, and a virtual plant layer has been established for experimental studying. The experiment results show that the OOC system can achieve satisfactory control performances for the SFR process in both normal and partially faulty working conditions.
