| Abstract Scope |
The electrolytic cell control systems designed on the basis of cell voltage and line current are becoming increasingly unsuitable for the large aluminum electrolytic cells. Instead, the design of the next generation electrolytic cell should be based on the anode current in the future. The accurate measurement of anode current is available by use of the fiber optic current sensor (FOCS). So the employment of FOCS in aluminum reduction cells could be considered as a disruptive technological application. The measurement principle of FOCS was introduced firstly, and then the methods for online measurement of anode current in the aluminum reduction cell was proposed. The results showed that, FOCS could be used to provide a series of effective methods for achieving the digital, intelligent and refined control of the aluminium reduction cell based on the measurement results. |
