철강제조공정에서 강판을 만드는 공정이 압연이다. 압연공정은 연속주조 공장에서 생산되는 Steel Slab, Bloom, Billet등의 반제품을 높은 온도로 재 가열하고 물리적인 힘을 가해 압연하는 열간압연(이하 열연)과 열연으로 얇아진 강판을 열을 가하지 않고 냉각상태에서 압연하는 냉간압연으로 나뉜다. 본 원고에서는 열연 공정의 가열로 온도제어에 적용한 MFA(Model Free Adaptive Controller)를 소개하고자 한다.

This paper studies the design of a two-DOF optimal controller for the strip gauge-tension of cold tandem mill processes, that uses a reference shaping filter and a disturbance observer. First, a mathematical model of the strip gauge and tension system is constructed using the gauge meter equation and Hooke's law, respectively. Next, a two-DOF controller considering of a feedforward controller and a feedback controller is designed. The former is based on the reference shaping filter and the disturbance observer, and the latter is based on the ILQ optimal control algorithm. Finally, it is shown through a computer simulation that the proposed optimal controller is able to improve the strip gauge accuracy and the tension variation more than the conventional MV-AGC controller.

This paper charcterizes dynamics of cold tandem minns, and constructs it state-space model of which are linear time invariant, using subspace method. Step responses particularly show the influence on mass transfer delay. Input-output data set are obtained form nonlinear differential equations including mass transfer delay and nonlinearity. It is shown that the identified state-apace model well approximates the original systems dynamics.

A loop-shaping LQ controller is synthesized for tandem cold mills. And a new loop- shaping technique is suggested for LQ controller design. The suggested loop-shaping LQ control system is compared with the standard loop-shaping LQ control system. The simulation results show that the theickness and interstand tension control accuracy of tandem cold mills can be improved by the compensated loop-shaping LQ controller.

A robust multivariable controller is synthesized for tandem cold mills. A blocked-noninteracting control method is applied for simplifying the structure of rolling control systems. And, a loop-shaping LQ control method is applied for maintaining the variation of the thickness and tension of each rolling stand as small as possible. In this paper, the effects of the design parameter on loop-shaping and the number of control inputs are evaluated. The simulation results show that the thickness and tension control accuracy of tandem cold mills can be improved by the blocked-noninteracting and compensated loop-shaping LQ controller.

In this paper, a decoupler of tandem cold rolling mill is designed. Before designing the decoupler, this paper improved conventional linear model by considering friction and yield stress of rolling strip. In a stand, the decoupler let an output be controlled by an input. And even if states of other stands should be changed, current stand takes no interference from those changes. In addition, with the same method, a feedforward controller is designed for an input strip thickness error. Finally, performance of controllers above is shown with nonlinear simulation.

In this paper, we study on the identification of discrete-time state-space model for robust control of tandem cold mill, using a MOESP(MIMO output-error state-space model identification) algorithm based on subspace method. It is shown that the identified model is well adapted to input-output data sets, which are obtained from nonlinear mathematical equations of tandem cold mill. Furthermore, deterministic H$\infty$ norm bounds on uncertainties including modeling errors and disturbances are quantitatively identified in the frequency domain. Finally, the results give a basic idea to determine weighting functions included in formulating some robust control problems of tandem cold mill.

A digital preview controller is designed for tandem cold mills to achieve a more improvement of the thickness accuracy. Simultaneously a blocked noninteracting controller is synthesized for rejecting the interactive effects among adjacent stands and for controlling independently each roll stand of tandem cold mills. The performance effects and characteristics of the suggested roll contol system are discussed in the practical viewpoint. The simulaltion results show that the thickness accuracy of tandem cold mills can be largely improved by the blocked noninteracting and digital preview controller.

This paper identifies a linear time-invariant mathematical model of each stand of a five-stand tandem cold mill to design a robust $H_\infty$ thickness controller by applying input and output data sets to N4SID (Numerical algorithms for Subspace State Space System Identification) method. The input-output data sets describe interstand interference in the process of tandem cold rolling and are obtained from a nonlinear simulator of the tandem cold mill. In result, it is shown that the identified model well approximates the nonlinear model than a Taylor linearized model. Furthermore, uncertainties including roll eccentricity and incoming strip variation are quantitatively analyzed from the plot of maximum singular values.

A digital preview controller using optimal LQ control theory is suggested for tandem cold mills to achieve a remarkable improvement of the thickness accuracy. Optimal preview control system is constructed for each rolling stand of tandem cold mills for which the blocked noninteracting control is carried out, and it is compared with the optimal LQ control system which has only feedback control. And in the cases that all/some of disturbance inputs are previewable, full and partial preview controllers are designed, and their performance effects are compared and discussed. The simulation results show that the performance of tandem cold mills can be improved largely through partial preview control.
