Nikolaev A.A., Kornilov G.P., Povelitsa E.V., Tulupov P.G. Study of different methods to design automated electrode position control systems for electric arc furances and ladle furnaces

Abstract

The article describes different ways to design automated electrode position control systems for electric arc furnaces and ladle furnaces. All systems were evaluated in terms of control performance, advantages and disadvantages, and described in terms of operation conditions at operating facilities.

Keywords

Electric arc furnace, ladle furnace, automated electrode position control system, adaptive impedance regulator, hydraulic drive for electrode positioning.
