Nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) of heat conduction cannot accurately describe the physical process, because of the uncertainties in molten steel temperature and ingredient, and the machine status that causes the variation in arriving time of the next job. Therefore, the optimal set-point values of the caster speed and the cooling water flow-rate are difficult to be determined. In practical industrial plants, those values are given by operators based on the look-up-table method which can not ensure the optimal efficiency and quality of slabs. By considering several operation performance functions and operation constraints, we present an optimal operation set-point model and develop an algorithm based on the genetic algorithm framework using weighted performance functions and central difference method. This model and algorithm are validated in experimental tests with real industrial data. In comparison with the look-up-table method, ex- perimental results show that our method provides better operation set-point values which improve the production efficiency and slab quality. Key words:
