Abstract
This paper presents an application of min-max generalized predictive control (MMGPC) to burnthrough point control in industrial sintering processes. A simple model is used as a plant model for the burnthrough point control, which is derived for a complicated sintering process by introducing events into a continuous variable system. As a control algorithm, the MMGPC is used. It is robust to disturbances and has guaranteed stability. Simulations of the burnthrough point control using the MMGPC are performed using a derived model of a POSCO (Pohang Steel Company, Korea) sintering plant and real burnthrough time data of sinter packages. The simulation results of the MMGPC are compared with those of PID control, and are satisfactory.
