The proper control of the ratio of ore to coke distribution (ROCD) can achieve energy saving of the blast furnace (BF). In order to achieve the desired ROCD, it is meaningful to search best charging system (especially the burden matrix). This paper deals with the problem of burden distribution control based on the adaptive genetic algorithm and multi-radar data. Firstly, the definition of the ratio of ore to coke (ROC) and the desired ROCD are given. Secondly, according to the desired ROCD, the concrete steps of searching the best burden matrices are presented based on the adaptive genetic algorithm. Then, the operators of the adaptive genetic algorithm (especially the mutation operator) are properly adjusted, according to the actual production process of the bell-less BF. Finally, three computational experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
