Modeling and Simulation of Whole Ball Mill Grinding Plant for Integrated Control
This paper introduces the development and implementation of a ball mill grinding circuit simulator, NEUSimMill. Compared to the existing simulators in this field which focus on process flowsheeting, NEUSimMill is designed to be used for the test and verification of grinding process control system
including advanced control system such as integrated control. The simulator implements the dynamic ball mill grinding model which formulates the dynamic responses of the process variables and the product particle size distribution to disturbances and control behaviors as well. First principles models have been used in conjunction with heuristic inference tools such as fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks: giving rise to a hybrid intelligent model which is valid across a large operating range. The model building in the simulator adopts a novel modular-based approach which is made possible by the dynamic sequential solving approach. The simulator can be initiated with connection to a real
controller to track the plant state and display in real-time the effect of various changes on the simulated plant. The simulation model and its implementation is verified and validated through a
case of application to the design, development, and deployment of optimal setting control system.
Note to Practitioners—This paper presents a simulator for the control of industrial ball mill grinding plants. It was motivated by the problem of testing control system. Advanced control system, such as the integrated control system, often has to be installed as an update to the regulatory control system of an operating plant. Using the proposed simulator, it can reduce the cost and risk of such on field testing. More specifically, the simulator can be applied to different phases of a control engineering project: (i) During the phase of control system design, the simulator can be used for gaining qualitative knowledge of the process. (ii) During the phase of development, the simulator can be used for the quantitative analysis of the dynamic performance of the local regulatory controllers and the optimal controllers. (iii) During the phase of deployment, the simulator can be used before its actual deployment for system integration plan test, performance demonstrate, and operator training. To demonstrate its usage, this
paper provides a case of application of the simulator to the design and test of the optimal setting control of a ball mill grinding plant in a real engineering project.
