    摘要: An electric arc furnace (EAF) including a set of mast hydraulics, a current transformer, a voltage transformer, a legacy control system and a set-point modifier. The legacy control system is in control of the set of mast hydraulics of the EAF, and receives information from the current transformer relative to current being supplied to the EAF and from the voltage transformer relative to voltage being applied to the EAF. The legacy control system using a set of set-points for the control of the set of mast hydraulics, the voltage and the current of the EAF. The set-point modifier communicates with the legacy control system, and executes the steps of: evaluating a cost function of key performance indicators of a previous heat of the EAF, the key performance indicators including electrical energy use and/or electrode consumption; and altering the set of set-points dependent upon the cost function.

    摘要: A controlled power supply in which an electric arc is used as a loading element. A single phase ac-to-dc invertor is provided with a matching transformer and a main rectifier and diodes which form the bridge and are connected to the matching transformer. The invertor has a controllable output. The bridge has a diagonal corresponding to an output of the rectifier and electrodes between which an electric arc can be initiated. a circuit for controlling the voltage across the electrodes includes a comparator to compare an actual rectified voltage with a reference value. The comparator provides for changing positions of the electrodes relative to each other. The single-phase ac-to-dc invertor is provided with two phase-shifting circuits that are connected in series and to the matching transformer. One of these phase-shifting circuits is a choke, whereas the other phase-shifting circuit is a capacitor. Each phase-shifting circuit is connected to a corresponding input of the main rectifier. The phase-shifting circuits are connected to an output of the main rectifier in the same polarity with diodes of the main rectifier connected to the electrodes.

    摘要: A feedback control system for the impedance control of an electric arc furnace having at least one electrode, a hydraulic electrode actuator for adjusting the electrode. The actuator is adapted to be supplied with hydraulic fluid through a control valve. The furnace further includes a controller, which is connected to the valve actuator for the control valve, and impedance signal generator for delivering impedance signals to one input of the controller and a setpoint signal generator for delivering a setpoint signal representing a desired impedance to another input of the controller. In order to prevent non-permissible electrode oscillations in such a feedback control system it is proposed to provide a correcting stage for correcting the controller gain and to provide a correcting signal generator for delivering to the correcting stage a signal which represents the controlled-system gain and which causes the correcting stage to change the controller gain in a sense which is opposite to a detected change of the controlled-system gain.

    摘要: DC arc furnaces have a current regulator for maintaining the current of an arc constant and an electrode regulator for affecting the position of an electrode of the arc furnace and thus the length of the are. Adjustment of the position of the electrode takes place by a hydraulic electrode adjustment device, which is controlled as a function of the difference between a predeterminable electrode regulator command variable signal and a voltage actual signal. The arc length is adjusted in such a way that a rectifier operates on the average with a deflection of, for example, 35.degree. el., independently of the secondary voltage of a furnace transformer and a set current set value. To be able to better protect the wall of the arc furnace and to better utilize the fed-in energy during operation with foaming slag, the arc length is automatically adapted to a slag height. The electrode regulator set value signal is calculated by a computer as a function of an arc field strength and a loudness signal which was detected by a loudness detector.
