Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic control of metallurgical industry equipment, and particularly relates to a method for intelligently dynamically adjusting and controlling the air temperature of a blast furnace hot blast stove in an iron-making plant. BACKGROUND

[0002] In normal production of a blast furnace, hot blast with stable temperature and flow rate is needed to provide heat for the blast furnace. The existing hot blast stove for supplying hot blast to the blast furnace is generally a regenerative hot blast stove. The regenerative hot blast stove comprises a combustion chamber and a regenerative chamber, and adopts a switching cycle working mode of combustion heating and blast supply. The combustion heating is generated by burning gas in the combustion chamber to heat the heat storage material in the regenerative chamber. When the dome temperature of the combustion chamber reaches 1350 DEG C and the flue gas temperature reaches 400 DEG C, the combustion heating is stopped and the blast supply is switched. In the blast supply, the fan of the power source drives the cold blast to pass through the regenerative chamber to absorb the heat of the heat storage material, so that the cold blast becomes hot blast and is then supplied to the blast furnace. Generally, four hot blast stoves are needed for one blast furnace. Among them, the blast furnace with a diameter of 1350 m 3 The blast volume of the blast furnace is as high as 3500 m 3 / min, and the air temperature is required to be above 1200 DEG C or even 1250 DEG C. The hot blast stove operator manually adjusts or performs fuzzy adjustment by single PID control according to the instructions of the foreman.

[0003] In the process of blast furnace iron-making, the air temperature of the hot blast stove is a core parameter affecting the iron-making efficiency, energy consumption and quality of pig iron. The traditional air temperature adjustment relies on manual experience or single PID control, and has the following defects:

[0004] 1. Response lag: manual adjustment cannot track the changes of the blast furnace conditions in real time, resulting in large fluctuations of the air temperature.

[0005] 2. Poor multi-parameter coupling: the dynamic relationship among parameters such as gas pressure, air flow, combustion efficiency and the like is not comprehensively considered.

[0006] 3. Energy waste: excessive or insufficient blast supply leads to low heat energy utilization rate and increased NOx emission.

[0007] 4. Equipment wear: frequent and intense adjustment shortens the service life of the hot blast pipeline and the burner.

[0008] The existing technology adopts a fuzzy control algorithm, but lacks the fusion analysis ability of multi-source heterogeneous data. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for intelligently dynamically adjusting and controlling the air temperature of a blast furnace hot blast stove in an iron-making plant based on multi-parameter feedback, so as to solve the conflict between the dynamic response of the existing actuator and the process constraint.
