On the optimal control of the steel annealing processes as a two-stage hybrid systems via PSO algorithms

The computation of optimal control variables for a two-stage steel annealing process which comprises of one or more furnaces is proposed in this paper. The heating and soaking furnaces of the steel annealing line form the two-stage hybrid systems. Three algorithms including particle swarm optimisati...
