Abstract: A soft-sensing method of burning through point (BTP) was described and a new predictive parameter—the mathematics inflexion point of waste gas temperature curve in the middle of the strand was proposed. The artificial neural network was used in predicting BTP, modification on backpropagation algorithm was made in order to improve the convergence and self-organize the hidden-layer neurons. The adaptive prediction system developed on these techniques shows its characters such as fast, accuracy, less dependence on production data. The prediction of BTP can be used as operation guidance or control parameter.
