However, because of random movement of melted materials during melting period, the resistance of the arc furnace changes randomly. As a result, the electrodes have to move accordingly to obtain a fix-point resistance. Moreover, it is often found that the arc furnace resistance changes very fast and it is impossible for the electrode to track the random change of resistance. Consequently, the furnace becomes unstable and it is often impossible to achieve required production per unit power. Hence, the control system often relies on prediction tools. However, it is difficult to predict the arc furnace resistance using conventional mathematical models. As a result, in this paper, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used to capture the random and time-varying nature of arc furnace resistance. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated by presenting a case study where the outputs of the proposed model are compared with the data recorded from an actual metallurgical plant.
