Main Objectives

Establish a set of scientific tools to reliably identify the electric states in submerge arc furnace processes.

Generic Techologies

• Physics based modelling

• Data driven modelling

• New thermal and magnetic  sensors

Final Exptected Outcome

A sound strategy for early detection of suboptimal electrical states to allow for a rapid transition back to safer and more productive conditions. More efficient and robust control strategies. Online simulators for training purposes.

Keywords

• Electrical conditions

• Metamodeling

• Control strategies
