Cel The goal of this project is to improve the performance of the cooling system of the rolls of hot strip mills using two new different cooling strategies. The implementation of the new cooling strategies will use a combination of observers and intelligent controllers. The observers are based on simplified mathematical models that running in real-time generate the thermal state in the inner of the rolls. In addition they calculate the thermal crown of the work rolls. In order to study the physical phenomenon an off-line mathematical model of the cooling process will be developed. New instrumentation based on optical pyrometers and CCD cameras will be used to adjust the models and verify the improvements reached in the cooling system with the two previous strategies. The intelligent controllers are based on neural networks and fuzzy-based systems. They integrate the information supplied by the observers with the operational variables of the mill in real- time and generate the set-point for the basic regulators that control the valves of the cooling water.
