This article analyzes methods that minimize the use of energy resources in sheet-rolling complexes (SRCs). A metal-heating–strip-hot-rolling line is modeled mathematically to develop a method of redistributing energy among the different sections of a furnace–mill SRC. A two-level automated control system that optimizes the rolling regimes is proposed to implement the method for the energy-efficient operation of the furnace–mill SRC.
