Aiming at the problem that there are many kinds of copper strip products and the parameter debugging of mathematical model is difficult,an intelligent modeling method based on intelligent optimization is proposed.According to the instrument data and test data collected during operation,the key parameters of the model are optimized by intelligent optimization algorithm.Combining with the improvement of the primary control program and the software development of the secondary mathematical model,the intelligent combustion system has been successfully applied in the copper strip step heating furnace,which improves the consistency of ingot heating and saves the natural gas consumption of tons of copper.
