It is effective for the variable speed control with inverter drives to be properly applied to pumps and fans in the steel industries to save energy. A predictive energy-saving solution combined with inverter drives in hot strip mills has been developed to achieve more saving effects than inverter application only. The solution utilizes the pre-set calculation results for hot strip products and real-time operation information to predict precisely the desired flow amount at the optimal timings. Significant effects of energy savings from this solution have been realized in several plants.
