Fuzzy Controller Optimized by Genetic Algorithm for the Molten Metal Level in the Twin Roll Strip Casting Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the twin roll strip casting process, the control for the molten metal level is difficult owing to non-linear and time-varying of the control parameters. In the paper, on the basis of the geometry shape of the molten metal pool and the continuity of metal, the level mathematic model is built. Then a fuzzy control strategy is adopted to control the level. Moreover GA(Genetic algorithm) is used to obtain better fuzzy parameters. Simulations show the fuzzy controller optimized by GA greatly improves the control performance.
