Optimizing the structure of metal load in order to reduce electricity consumption in the production of steel

As the basic units in the preparation of steel, in industrial practice is used oxygen converters and electric arc furnaces. In research carried out has been taken into account structure analysis load electric arc furnaces of the specific consumption of electricity (kWh/t). Data to be achieved for a number of 96 batches, have been taken into account load holding metal of each assortment of scrap metal, these varieties being considered as independent parameters, and electricity consumption is considered dependent parameter. By processing the data in the EXCEL spreadsheet programs and MATLAB have been obtained correlations between parameters analyze, analytical results being presented and the graph. On the basis of an analysis of these correlations to choose optimal structure of the load in order to obtain an acceptable energy consumption from technical and economic point of view.
