Optimisation Of The Control Algorithm For Loading Glass Batch Into A Glass Making Furnace

An algorithm for optimal control of glass-batch loading into a glass making furnace is examined; it takes account of the possible use of partial portions of scrapped batch. The admissible changes of the category for a mixture consisting of quality-standardised batch with a partial portion of scrapped batch are determined from the computational results. When the category is changed, the glass batch is redistributed over the width of the loading bin.
