Abstract

The paper describes an application of optimization techniques for the minimization of the specific electrical energy consumption related to the production of steel for a steelworks situated in Italy. The major electrical consumption derives from two internal plants: the Electric Arc Furnace and the Ladle Furnace. This work addresses the problem of understanding the best settings (based on predefined models) to produce a specific steel, which is mainly characterized by its steelgrade and quality, with the minimum energy consumption.
