Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric arc furnace electrode control, in particular to an electric arc furnace electrode voltage calculation model and a construction method thereof, and a control method of the electric arc furnace electrode. BACKGROUND
[0002] The electric arc furnace (also known as arc resistance furnace or submerged arc furnace) is a high-temperature metallurgical equipment that converts electrical energy into heat energy, mainly used for producing industrial raw materials such as ferroalloy (such as ferrosilicon, ferromanganese), calcium carbide, yellow phosphorus, etc. Its core principle is to use the electric arc heat generated between the electrode and the furnace charge and the furnace charge resistance heat to raise the temperature in the furnace to above 1800℃, realizing ore reduction, melting and chemical reaction. The electric arc furnace is usually composed of a furnace body, an electrode system (self-baking or pre-baked electrode), a short net (a large current power transmission system), a transformer and an automatic control system. The electrode, as the core carrier of energy input, its position control and the stability of voltage and current parameters directly affect the thermal balance in the furnace and the production efficiency.
[0003] The electrode voltage measurement is a key link of the electric arc furnace control system, mainly used for electrode regulation, power optimization and fault diagnosis. In the prior art, the detection of the electrode voltage, i.e. the phase voltage, has two kinds of contact measurement and non-contact measurement. The contact measurement is to directly collect the voltage signal between the electrode and the furnace bottom (or the adjacent electrode) through a voltage transformer or a voltage divider, which is relatively mature in technology but still has limitations. For example, in a strong electromagnetic interference and high temperature environment, signal distortion is easy to occur, and the contact point is easy to oxidize or burn out, resulting in high maintenance cost. Moreover, the contact measurement simply takes the potential difference between the electrode top holder and the furnace bottom as the electrode voltage, which is inaccurate, on the one hand, it cannot accurately reflect the amplitude of the electrode voltage, on the other hand, it cannot accurately describe the drift of the neutral point in the furnace with the working condition changes. The non-contact measurement technology usually adopts infrared temperature measurement and laser positioning, combining the infrared thermal imager and laser range finder of the electrode position to indirectly calculate the voltage distribution, but it depends on the algorithm accuracy and is affected by the dust in the furnace. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to provide an electric arc furnace electrode voltage calculation model and a construction method thereof, which is simple and easy to operate, can cleverly calculate the three-phase electrode voltage through the line voltage, and truly reflects the actual furnace condition.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. EMBODIMENT
[0020] The embodiment provides a kind of ore-heating furnace electrode voltage calculating model, and its construction method includes the following steps:
[0021] S1. The phase voltage of three-phase electrode of ore-heating furnace is transformed into positive sequence component , negative sequence component And zero sequence component .
[0022] Wherein, the matrix form of symmetrical component transformation (formula one) is
[0023] .
[0024] S2. Eliminate zero sequence component , construct the relationship formula (formula two) between line voltage , , And positive sequence component , negative sequence component .
[0025] Further, the matrix of symmetrical component transformation is combined with the line voltage equation to obtain the relationship between the line voltage , , and the positive sequence component , the negative sequence component is
[0026] .
[0027] Because , , all include the zero sequence component , the zero sequence component is naturally eliminated in the process of subtraction, and the result of equation two is obtained.
[0028] S3. The positive sequence component and the negative sequence component are solved.
[0029] In this process, based on equation two, the rotation factor , is constructed, and the equation group (equation three) with a as the coefficient is constructed, that is
[0030] ,
[0031] The positive sequence component and the negative sequence component are solved again.
[0032] In actual calculation, because the three equations in equation three are linearly dependent, two equations can be selected to solve, for example, the equation containing and is used to solve, and the solution of the positive sequence component and the negative sequence component is
[0033] .
[0034] S4. The solved positive sequence component and the negative sequence component are substituted into the symmetrical component transformation formula (equation one), and the zero sequence component is set to 0 to obtain the calculation model of the phase voltage of the three-phase electrode of the electric arc furnace.
[0035] According to the actual operation of the electric arc furnace, the zero sequence current cannot flow, and there is no zero sequence loop, so in this calculation model, the zero sequence component can be forced to be 0 to simplify the calculation.
[0036] Further, the expression of the calculation model is
[0037] .
[0038] The calculation model constructs a virtual neutral point by mathematical method, the position of the virtual neutral point adjusts with the change of three-phase load, and can truly reflect the electrical balance state under actual working condition. Compared with the measurement error caused by the fixed reference point of the traditional method, the electrode lifting and power input can be more accurately controlled. Embodiments
[0039] The embodiment provides a control method of a submerged arc furnace electrode, which comprises:
[0040] S1. Measuring the line voltage of the three-phase electrode of the submerged arc furnace 、 、 ; S2. Substituting into the calculation model of embodiment 1; calculating the phase voltage of the three-phase electrode of the submerged arc furnace
[0041] 、 、 ; S3. Adjusting the furnace condition according to the phase voltage of the three-phase electrode of the submerged arc furnace.
[0042]
[0043] Further, the way of adjusting the furnace condition comprises controlling the lifting of a single electrode, and adjusting the input power of the electrode.
[0044] The application example adopts the calculation model of embodiment 1 to calculate the electrode voltage, and compares the result measured by the existing contact type electrode voltage measurement method (represented by ’、 ’、 ’), and compares the difference of the measurement results under different furnace conditions. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
[0045] Table 1. Comparison of electrode voltage measurement results (voltage unit: V)
[0046]
[0047] As can be seen from Table 1, under normal circumstances, the electrode voltage calculated by the calculation model of Example 1 is not much different from the result measured by the existing contact type electrode voltage measurement method, but in the event of an emergency, since the neutral point selected by the existing contact type method is generally a furnace shell, a furnace bottom buried conductive needle or a work site, which has nothing to do with the true furnace floating neutral point, so it cannot truly express the furnace condition. For example, in the case of a collapsed material near phase B, the existing measurement method cannot timely discover the change of the furnace condition, and cannot guide the furnace operator to timely adjust the furnace condition, resulting in a decrease in the arc work of the phase B electrode, an increase in the product unit consumption, and a decrease in the production. In addition, in the second furnace condition, when the phase A electrode ram is dead, the electrode voltage calculated by the present scheme decreases obviously, at this time, the phase A electrode should be lifted in time, and the electrode current should be reduced to avoid the occurrence of the furnace trip accident, while the result measured by the existing contact type measurement method only shows a slight decrease in the phase B electrode voltage, which cannot accurately identify the furnace condition, and further causes a production accident.
[0048] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a construction method of a submerged arc furnace electrode voltage calculation model, which ingeniously constructs a calculation model for calculating the electrode voltage by the line voltage through vector calculation. The model can realize non-contact calculation of the electrode voltage, and can accurately restore the phase voltage without physical contact with the electrode or the furnace charge, thereby reducing the sensor maintenance cost and prolonging the equipment life. The virtual neutral point used by the model drifts with the working condition, and can more truly reflect the furnace condition. The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method of a submerged arc furnace electrode, which uses the above calculation model, and can reflect the change of the electrode-furnace charge contact impedance according to the real-time phase voltage calculation value, and then make timely adjustment, thereby enhancing the robustness of the system.
[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
