Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung und/oder Regelung der Temperatur eines Metallbandes in einer Anlage der Stahlindustrie, insbesondere in einer Kühlstrecke, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein solches Verfahren ist aus VS6185970 B bekannt.The invention relates to a method for controlling and / or regulating the temperature of a metal strip in a plant of the steel industry, in particular in a cooling section, according to the preamble of
Aus der DE 199 63 186 A1 ist ein Steuerverfahren für eine Kühlstrecke bekannt, der eine Fertigstraße zum Walzen von Metall-Warmband vorgeordnet ist. Bei diesem Steuerverfahren werden beim Einlaufen des Warmbandes in die Kühlstrecke Bandpunkte und deren Anfangstemperaturen erfasst und den erfassten Bandpunkten individuell Solltemperaturverläufe zugeordnet. Die Bandpunkte, deren Anfangstemperaturen und deren Solltemperaturverläufe werden einem Modell für die Kühlstrecke zugeführt. Die Bandpunkte werden beim Durchlaufen der Kühlstrecke wegverfolgt. In der Kühlstrecke wird das Warmband mittels Temperaturbeeinflussungseinrichtungen Temperaturbeeinflussungen unterworfen. Die Wegverfolgungen und die Temperaturbeeinflussungen werden ebenfalls dem Modell zugeführt. Das Modell ermittelt in Echtzeit erwartete Ist- Temperaturen der erfassten Bandpunkte und ordnet diese den Bandpunkten zu. Dadurch steht für jeden Bandpunkt zu jedem Zeitpunkt die Temperatur als Funktion über die Banddicke zur Verfügung. Ferner ermittelt es anhand der den erfassten Bandpunkten zugeordneten Solltemperaturverläufe und der erwarteten Ist-Temperaturen Ansteuerwerte für die Temperaturbeeinflussungseinrichtungen und führt die Ansteuerwerte diesen zu. Die Temperaturführung dient insbesondere zum gezielten Einstellen von Material- und Gefügeeigenschaften des Metall-Warmbandes. In der Regel wird dabei die Temperaturführung derart durchgeführt, dass ein vorbestimmter Haspeltemperaturverlauf vom Ausgang der Kühlstrecke möglichst gut erreicht wird.From DE 199 63 186 A1 a control method for a cooling section is known, which is preceded by a finishing train for rolling of hot metal strip. In this control method, when the hot strip enters the cooling section, band points and their initial temperatures are detected and individual setpoint temperature profiles are assigned to the detected band points. The band points, their initial temperatures and their desired temperature curves are fed to a model for the cooling section. The band points are tracked as they pass through the cooling section. In the cooling section, the hot strip is subjected to temperature influencing by means of temperature influencing devices. The tracking and the temperature changes are also fed to the model. The model determines in real time expected actual temperatures of the recorded band points and assigns them to the band points. As a result, the temperature as a function of the strip thickness is available for each band point at any time. Furthermore, it determines control values for the temperature-influencing devices on the basis of the setpoint temperature profiles assigned to the detected band points and the expected actual temperatures, and supplies the control values to them. The temperature control is used in particular for targeted adjustment of material and structural properties of the metal hot strip. As a rule, the temperature control is carried out in such a way that a predetermined reel temperature curve is achieved as well as possible from the outlet of the cooling section.
Maßgeblich für Material- und Gefügeeigenschaften des Metallbands sind neben der chemischen Zusammensetzung und Parametern des Umformprozesses, wie z.B. die Abnahmeverteilung über die Gerüste der Fertigstaffel und der zeitliche Temperaturverlauf des Bandmaterials beim Durchlauf durch die Anlage.Decisive for material and structural properties of the metal strip are, in addition to the chemical composition and parameters of the forming process, such as. the acceptance distribution over the stands of the finishing scale and the temporal temperature profile of the strip material as it passes through the plant.
Die letzten Stellglieder für den Temperaturverlauf des Metallbandes innerhalb der Anlage befinden sich dabei in der Regel innerhalb der Kühlstrecke. In der Kühlstrecke vollzieht sich häufig auch die Phasenumwandlung des Materials. Als Stellglieder dienen in der Regel die Ventile der Kühlstrecke. Bei bestimmten Kühlstrecken, wie z.B. Grobblechstraßen, kann zusätzlich auch der Massenfluss, d.h. insbesondere die Bandgeschwindigkeit, gestellt werden.The last actuators for the temperature profile of the metal strip within the system are usually located within the cooling section. In the cooling section, the phase transformation of the material often takes place. As actuators usually serve the valves of the cooling section. For certain cooling sections, such as Heavy plate mills, in addition, the mass flow, i. in particular, the belt speed, are provided.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Steuerung bzw. die Regelung der Temperatur eines Metallbandes, dabei insbesondere in einer Kühlstrecke, in einer Anlage der Stahlindustrie derart zu verbessern, dass die Nachteile bekannter Steuerungen bzw. Regelungen weitestgehend vermieden werden und die Effizienz der Steuerung bzw. Regelung erhöht wird.The object of the present invention is to improve the control or the regulation of the temperature of a metal strip, in particular in a cooling section, in a plant of the steel industry in such a way that the disadvantages of known controls or regulations are largely avoided and the efficiency of the control or Control is increased.
Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren zur Steuerung und/oder Regelung der Temperatur eines Metallbandes in einer Anlage der Stahlindustrie gelöst, insbesondere in einer Kühlstrecke, die einer Walzstraße zum Walzen von Metallwarmband nachgeordnet ist, wobei zur Ermittlung von Stellsignalen ein Soll-Temperaturverlauf mit einem Ist-Temperaturverlauf verglichen wird, und wobei Bandpunkte wegverfolgt werden, wobei ein Temperaturverlauf für einzelne Bandpunkte ermittelt wird und wobei unter Berücksichtigung von Nebenbedingungen mindestens eine Zielfunktion für mehrere Stellglieder in einem Regelbereich der Anlage, insbesondere in der Kühlstrecke, gebildet wird.The object is achieved by a method for controlling and / or regulating the temperature of a metal strip in a plant of the steel industry, in particular in a cooling section, which is arranged downstream of a rolling train for rolling metal heat, wherein for determining actuating signals a desired temperature profile with an actual Temperature characteristic is compared, and wherein band points are tracked, wherein a temperature profile for individual band points is determined and wherein, taking into account side conditions at least one target function for a plurality of actuators in a control range of the system, in particular in the cooling line is formed.
Durch die Berücksichtigung von Nebenbedingungen, die vorzugsweise Anlagengrenzen bzw. Stellbegrenzungen entsprechen, wird es möglich, insbesondere für verschiedene Kühlstrecken-Layouts und vor allem für den Fall eines vorgegebenen Temperatur- bzw. Abkühlverlaufs, (Stell-) Vorgaben zu ermitteln, die Stellbegrenzungen in sinnvoller Weise berücksichtigen. So wird beispielsweise bei einer zweigeteilten Kühlstrecke vermieden, dass die Vorgabe einer zu hohen Temperatur zwischen beiden Teilkühlstrecken zur Folge hat, dass die Haspeltemperatur mit der verfügbaren Kühlmittelmenge der zweiten Teilkühlstrecke nicht mehr erreicht werden kann. Derart und insbesondere auch durch die Wegverfolgung der Bandpunkte wird die Genauigkeit der Steuerung bzw. Regelung deutlich verbessert.By taking into account secondary conditions, which preferably correspond to plant limits or control limits, it becomes possible, in particular for different cooling line layouts and, above all, in the case of a predetermined temperature or cooling curve, to determine (control) specifications, the control limits are more meaningful Consider the way. Thus, it is avoided, for example, in a two-part cooling section, that the specification of an excessively high temperature between the two partial cooling sections has the result that the reel temperature can no longer be achieved with the available coolant quantity of the second partial cooling section. In this way, and in particular also by the tracking of the band points, the accuracy of the control or regulation is significantly improved.
Mit Vorteil wird die Zielfunktion durch Lösen eines Optimierungsproblems minimiert bzw. maximiert. Derart wird eine Steuerung bzw. Regelung auch dann möglich, wenn ein Temperatur- bzw. Abkühlverlauf vorgegeben wird, der nicht exakt realisierbar ist. Das Verfahren ermittelt dann die bestmögliche Approximation.Advantageously, the objective function is minimized or maximized by solving an optimization problem. Such a control or regulation is also possible if a temperature or cooling is specified, which is not exactly feasible. The method then determines the best possible approximation.
Mit Vorteil wird ein quadratisches Optimierungsproblem gelöst. Derart wird die Zeit zum Lösen des Optimierungsproblems in der Regel deutlich verringert.Advantageously, a quadratic optimization problem is solved. Thus, the time to solve the optimization problem is usually significantly reduced.
Mit Vorteil wird der Ist-Temperaturverlauf und/oder der Soll-Temperaturverlauf des Metallbandes unter Zuhilfenahme mindestens eines Modells ermittelt. Derart wird eine verbesserte Steuerung bzw. Regelung der Temperatur des Metallbandes auch dann ermöglicht, wenn die tatsächliche Bandtemperatur an für die Steuerung bzw. Regelung relevanten Orten, insbesondere der Kühlstrecke, nicht gemessen werden kann.Advantageously, the actual temperature profile and / or the desired temperature profile of the metal strip is determined with the aid of at least one model. In this way, improved control or regulation of the temperature of the metal strip is also made possible if the actual strip temperature at locations relevant for the control or regulation, in particular the cooling section, can not be measured.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich wird der Ist-Enthalpieverlauf und/oder der Soll-Enthalpieverlauf ermittelt.Alternatively or additionally, the actual enthalpy profile and / or the desired enthalpy profile are determined.
Mit Vorteil wird die Zielfunktion durch Lösen eines Optimierungsproblems mittels Vorausberechnung minimiert bzw. maximiert. Insbesondere wird auf diese Weise die zur Voreinstellung der Stellglieder benötigte Zeit deutlich reduziert. Vorzugsweise werden derart zudem die Stellglieder optimal im Hinblick auf eine nachfolgende Online-Regelung voreingestellt,Advantageously, the objective function is minimized or maximized by solving an optimization problem by means of precalculation. In particular, the time required for presetting the actuators is significantly reduced in this way. Preferably, in addition, the actuators are optimally preset with regard to a subsequent online control,
Mit Vorteil wird die Zielfunktion vorzugsweise online durch Lösen eines Optimierungsproblems iterativ minimiert bzw. maximiert.Advantageously, the objective function is preferably minimized or maximized online by solving an optimization problem.

Der Kühlstreckenmonitor 11 und die Kühlstreckenregelung 12 steuern die Stellglieder der Kühlstrecke 4 und sind vorzugsweise mit einem oder mehreren Modellen der Kühlstrecke, die z.B. in einer Modellbibliothek 19 abgelegt sein können, gekoppelt. Vorzugsweise wird eines der Modelle zur Steuerung der Stellglieder verwendet. Die Kühlstreckenregelung 12 gibt Stellsignale 101 an die Kühlstrecke 4 weiter, beispielsweise in Form von Stellmustern für Kühlmittelventile.The
Figur 2 beschreibt die Funktionsweise des Kühlstreckenmonitors 11 und der Kühlstreckenregelung 12 genauer.Figure 2 describes the operation of the
Der Kühlstreckenmonitor 11 ermittelt den Zustand der Kühlstrecke 4. Als Eingangsparameter für den Kühlstreckenmonitor 11 dienen beispielsweise Werte wie die Geschwindigkeit des Metallbandes 6, Bandtemperaturen sowie Kühlmitteltemperaturen und Kühlmitteldruck.The cooling distance monitor 11 determines the state of the
Weitere Eingangsgrößen sind die Einstellungen der Stellglieder, d.h. also vorzugsweise der Ventile 7.Other inputs are the settings of the actuators, i. So preferably the valves. 7
Vorzugsweise ist im Eingangsbereich der Kühlstrecke 4 ein Endwalztemperatur-Messplatz 8 zur Messung der Temperatur des Metallbands 6 angeordnet. Hier wird die Temperatur des am Ende der Fertigstraße 3 bzw. die Temperatur zwischen Fertigstraße 3 und Kühlstrecke 4 gemessen. Am Ende der Kühlstrecke 4 ist vorzugsweise ein Endtemperatur-Messplatz 9 angeordnet. Hier wird die Temperatur vor der Haspelvorrichtung 5 bzw. am Ende der Kühlstrecke 4 gemessen. Eingangsgrößen des Kühlstreckenmonitors 11 sind die am Endwalztemperatur-Messplatz 8 ermittelten Eingangstemperaturen 103 des Metallbandes, die am Haspeltemperatur-Messplatz 9 ermittelten Ausgangstemperaturen 104 des Metallbandes sowie weitere Banddaten 102, die vorzugsweise in der Fertigstraße 3, z.B. an oder kurz nach deren letztem Walzgeüst 3', ermittelt werden.Preferably, a final rolling temperature measuring station 8 for measuring the temperature of the metal strip 6 is arranged in the entrance area of the
Von der Kühlstreckenregelung 12 werden an den Kühlstreckenmonitor 11 Ventilstellungen 101 übermittelt, die in der Regel jedoch vom Kühlstreckenmonitor 11 nicht auf Plausibilität geprüft werden. Der Kühlstreckenmonitor 11 ermittelt stets den gegenwärtigen Zustand der Kühlstrecke 4.From the
Die erfindungsgemäße Steuerung bzw. Regelung erfolgt Zeittakt weise vorzugsweise in Regelschritten. Die Kühlstreckenregelung 12 ermittelt die Ventilstellungen 101 der Ventile 7 der Kühlstrecke 4 für den jeweils nächsten Regelschritt. Dabei wird vorzugsweise ein Optimierungsproblem gelöst, auf das im weiteren Text noch näher eingegangen wirdThe control or regulation according to the invention takes place clock cycle, preferably in control steps. The
Erfindungsgemäß wird vorzugsweise in jedem Zeittakt ein Iterationsschritt durchgeführt wird, wobei ausgehend von der einem aktuellen Zeittakt zugeordneten Lösung des Optimierungsproblems mindestens ein Stellsignal auf die Anlage aufgeschaltet wird. Vorzugsweise werden für einen nachfolgenden Zeittakt weitere aktualisierte Messwerte bei der Lösung des Optimierungsproblems berücksichtigt. Derart kann ein geschlossener Regelkreis gebildet werden.According to the invention, an iteration step is preferably carried out in each time cycle, wherein, starting from the solution of the optimization problem assigned to a current time cycle, at least one actuating signal is applied to the installation. Preferably, further updated measured values are taken into account in the solution of the optimization problem for a subsequent clock cycle. In this way, a closed loop can be formed.
Es ist vorteilhaft wenn bei einer hohen Anzahl von Stellgliedern, wie sie für die Kühlstrecke 4 typisch ist, bei der Aufstellung des vorzugsweise quadratischen Optimierungsproblems nicht einzelne Ventile sondern Gruppen von Ventilen als Stellglied aufgefasst werden. Die Aufteilung des berechneten Stellwerts auf die einzelnen Ventile erfolgt über eine geeignete Schaltheuristik. Das Zusammenfassen von Ventilen zu Ventilgruppen ist besonders für eine online, d.h. in Echtzeit, erfolgende Lösung des Optimierungsproblems besonders vorteilhaft.It is advantageous if at a high number of actuators, as is typical for the
Figur 6 zeigt einen möglichen Temperaturverlauf T über den Orten x der Kühlstrecke 4, wobei die Kühlstrecke 4 durch den Anfang der Kühlstrecke xA und das Ende der Kühlstrecke xE begrenzt ist. Ein vergleichbares Bild würde sich beim Auftragen eines Temperaturverlaufs T über die Zeit ergeben.Figure 6 shows a possible temperature profile T over the locations x of the
Figur 3 stellt die modellprädiktive Regelung der Kühlstrecke näher dar. Dabei werden von der Kühlstreckenregelung 12 vorzugsweise nicht einzelne Ventile 7a bzw. 7b, zusammenfassend als 7 bezeichnet, angesteuert, sondern aus ein oder mehreren Ventilen 7 bestehende Ventilgruppen. Dabei kann dementsprechend beispielsweise der Regelbereich 14 in mehrere Teilbereiche 14a und 14b aufgeteilt werden, wobei vorzugsweise jedem Teilbereich 14a bzw. 14b eine Ventilgruppe zugeordnet ist.FIG. 3 illustrates the model-predictive control of the cooling section in more detail. In this case, preferably not
Innerhalb der Grenzen des Regelbereichs 14, dessen Grenzen sich mit den Grenzen der Kühlstrecke in der Regel decken, kann hinsichtlich der Regelung zwischen einem Hauptregelbereich 15 und einem Abgleichsregelbereich 16 unterschieden werden. Vorzugsweise werden einzelne Bandpunkte (13a, 13b) wegverfolgt.Within the limits of the
Zur Steuerung und Regelung der Kühlstrecke wird ein modellprädiktiver Algorithmus eingesetzt. Dabei werden Stellglieder für Nu Zeitschritte in die Zukunft als Lösung eines vorzugsweise quadratischen Optimierungsproblems bestimmt, wobei mit dem Modell für Ny Zeitschritte Vorhersagen getroffen werden.A model-predictive algorithm is used to control and regulate the cooling section. In this case, actuators for N u time steps are determined in the future as a solution of a preferably quadratic optimization problem, wherein predictions are made with the model for N y time steps.
Nu darf 1 oder auch eine natürliche Zahl größer 1 sein. In letzterem Fall werden in der Regel nur die berechneten Stellgliedeinstellungen für den ersten Zeitschritt implementiert. Für den nächsten Zeitschritt wir unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Messwerte bzw. Vorhersagewerte neu gerechnet.N u may be 1 or even a natural number greater than 1. In the latter case, only the calculated actuator settings for the first time step are usually implemented. For the next time step, we recalculated taking into account current measured values or predicted values.
Ny muss so groß gewählt werden, dass die größte vorliegende Totzeit überwunden wird. Die größte Totzeit ergibt sich aus dem größten Abstand einer Temperaturmessstelle und der Position des nächstliegenden vorgeschalteten freien Stellventils. Zur Aufstellung des vorzugsweise quadratischen Optimierungsproblems wird ein geeignetes vorzugsweise linearisiertes Bandtemperaturmodell verwendet. In das vorzugsweise quadratische Optimierungsproblem lassen sich leicht Gleichungs- und Ungleichungsnebenbedingungen integrieren. Derart können Stellgliedbegrenzungen und unterschiedliche Kühlstreckenlayouts besonders vorteilhaft und vorzugsweise derart berücksichtigt werden, dass an der Recheneinrichtung 10 bzw. am Vorausberechnungsmodul 21 und/oder dem Berechnungsmodul 22 keine übermäßigen Änderungen vorgenommen werden müssen.N y must be chosen large enough to overcome the largest dead time available. The largest dead time results from the largest distance of a temperature measuring point and the position of the nearest upstream free control valve. To set up the preferably quadratic optimization problem, a suitable, preferably linearized, strip temperature model is used. In the preferably square Optimization problem can easily be integrated with equation and inequality constraints. In this way, actuator limitations and different cooling line layouts can be taken into account particularly advantageously and preferably such that no excessive changes have to be made to the
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann eine Modellprädiktive Regelung der Kühlstrecke auch auf dem Enthalpieverlauf in der Kühlstrecke fußen. Der Enthalpieverlauf über dem Ort x bzw. über der Zeit ist dabei vergleichbar mit dem Temperaturverlauf über dem Ort (siehe auch Figur 6) bzw. über der Zeit.Alternatively or additionally, a model predictive control of the cooling section can also be based on the enthalpy curve in the cooling section. The enthalpy profile over the location x or over time is comparable to the temperature profile over the location (see also FIG. 6) or over time.
Wie Figur 4 veranschaulicht, ist es möglich, dass die Recheneinrichtung 10 ein Modul zur Kühlstreckenregelung 12 aufweist, das seinerseits mehrere Teilregelmodule 17a, 17b aufweist, die unterschiedlichen Regelbereichen 14a und 14b entsprechen.As FIG. 4 illustrates, it is possible for the
Die erfindungsgemäße Steuerung bzw. Regelung der Kühlstrecke 4 ist unabhängig vom Kühlstreckenlayout und bietet aufgrund der modellprädiktiven Regelung ein optimales Verhalten der Steuerung auch an den Stellbegrenzungen. Vorgaben können auf flexible Weise im Sinne einer Priorisierung unterschiedlich gewichtet werden. In das erfindungsgemäße Steuerungs- bzw. Regelungsverfahren ist Edge-Masking integrierbar.The control or regulation of the
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren lässt sich derart ausgestalten, dass auch die Geschwindigkeit des Metallbandes 6 gesteuert werden kann, was seine Verwendung beispielsweise auch für Grobblechstraßen möglich macht.The method according to the invention can be designed in such a way that the speed of the metal strip 6 can also be controlled, which makes its use possible, for example, also for heavy plate mills.
Insbesondere lässt sich auch eine Fertigstrasse 3 erfindungsgemäß regeln. Neben Bandgeschwindigkeit sind bei einer Fertigstrasse 3 Zwischengerüstkühlvorrichtungen weitere mögliche Stellglieder. Eine typische Zahl von Stellgliedern für eine Kühlstrecke sind beispielsweise ca. 200 Ventile 7. Dies ist eine deutlich höhere Zahl von Stellgliedern als für eine typische Fertigstrasse 3.In particular, a finishing
Eine übergreifende Steuerung bzw. Regelung für mehrere Anlagenteile 1 bis 5 kann vorzugsweise wie nachstehend beispielsweise für eine Fertigstrasse 3 und eine Kühlstrecke 4 beschrieben erzielt werden.An overall control for a plurality of
Zur übergreifenden Steuerung bzw. Regelung werden vorzugsweise das Temperaturmodell der Fertigstraße 3 und das Temperaturmodell der Kühlstrecke 4 verkettet. Durch Addition der Zielfunktionen für beide Anlagenteile 3 und 4 wird ein vorzugsweise quadratisches Optimierungsproblem mit vorzugsweise linearen Nebenbedingungen ermittelt, mit Hilfe dessen ein gemeinsames Steuerverfahren für beide Anlagenteile 3 und 4 bereitgestellt wird. Die Optimierung des Problems liefert so die Einstellungen für die Zwischengerüstkühlungen der Fertigstrasse 3, die Kühlstreckenventile 7 der Kühlstrecke 4 und Geschwindigkeit des Metallbandes 6, insbesondere für den jeweils nächsten Regelschritt.For overall control or regulation, preferably the temperature model of the finishing
