Induction Heating System

Abstract: An induction heating system according to the present invention comprises: a plurality of transverse-type induction heating devices installed along a transport direction of a rolled material; and a computer that, on the basis of information related to the rolled material and actual values of a width-direction temperature distribution on an inlet side and an outlet side of the induction heating devices, calculates a heating pattern, which is a combination of power supplied to the inductor of each induction heating device and the position of each inductor that can move in a width direction of the rolled material, and sets a heating pattern for each of the induction heating devices. The computer is configured so as to execute: defining an evaluation function including a term of the deviation between a target value and a predicted value for the width-direction temperature distribution of the rolled material on the outlet side of each of the induction heating devices, and a term of power supplied to each of the inductors; and calculating a heating pattern candidate that is a heating pattern for when the evaluation function is minimized.
