Abstract

Continuous casting plants are highly complex plants whose performance requires reliable mold level control system. Several effects greatly influence the surface quality of the final product and if these are not suppressed sufficiently by the mold level control system, than the production speed, hence the productivity has to be lowered. This paper analyses the most important disturbance and their effects on the control system design, and presents a new solution for the most critical case, mold level hunting.
