摘要:AbstractThe scheduling of steelmaking and continuous casting process is an important exercise for the steel industry. Uncertain processing time can significantly affect the schedule performance. To tackle this uncertainty, a multistage adaptive optimization method is proposed in this work. The proposed method can effectively handle a large number of uncertain parameters and generate an adjustable scheduling policy for online use. The method is flexible in choosing a robust objective or an expectation objective. Results demonstrate that the stochastic adaptive solution is less conservative and can be employed for optimal scheduling of the steelmaking process.
