A double-layer optimization model for flatness control of cold rolled strip

Abstract The flatness control system consists of two subsystems. One is the feedback control subsystem which is used to implement the closed-loop flatness control. Another is usually referred to as feedforward control subsystem in the field of strip flatness control. To realize the cooperative control of roll bending between two subsystems, a feedforward-–feedback coordination control strategy based on double-layer optimization is proposed to obtain the optimal adjustments of actuators. Firstly, a global optimization model of actuator adjustment is established by the overall modeling, and an improved interior penalty function method is developed and utilized to solve this model subsequently. On this basis, an optimal allocation model is proposed to achieve a global optimal allocation of actuator adjustments between feedforward control and feedback control. Numerical experiments and applications show that this new control strategy and the corresponding models are effective in the flatness control process of cold rolling mill.
