Improved modeling and optimal control of an electric arc furnace
This thesis centers around an electric arc furnace (EAF) at a steel mini-mill in Wilton, IA. First, the thesis replicates previous optimization attempts. Next, the modeling is greatly altered to produce a much improved steel-melting model. Then, a new optimal control system is created and used to re...
