Modelado de Control de Nivel en Molde para Vaciado Continuo de Palanquillas de Acero

This paper presents a model of system for the mould level control in a continuous casting machine for steel billets. The objective was to carry out the modeling of each element of the system including disturbances and transformations of the plant that affect the quality of control in the installation study object. It was obtained and validated an approximate model of the control system using physical laws governing the same one, experimental identification by special signals and parametric identification off- line. The model explicitly includes the phenomena of obstruction and erosion of the valve which have a significant impact on the operation of the plant. For hydraulic servo system achieved a gray box model contributes to a better understanding of the process and evaluates incidence of the multi-frequency implemented under conventional outline. Obtained the model can be studied scale simulation system operation and the effectiveness of advanced control solutions. The developed work is part of an I+D process that in the course of more than 10 years, it has contributed to that in the steelmaking where is carried out the investigation, there is a mould level control system that has positive impact on the quality of steel produced.
