Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of evaluation and comparison of environmental impact of emission sources in the case of a complex, multisource emission field. The analysis is based on the forecasts of a short-term, dynamic dispersion model. The aim is to get a quantitative evaluation of the contribution of the selected sources according to the predefined, environmental cost function. The approach utilizes the optimal control technique for distributed parameter systems. The adjoint equation, related to the main transport equation of the forecasting model, is applied to calculate the sensitivity of the cost function to the emission intensity of the specified sources. An example implementation of a regional-scale, multilayer dynamic model of SOx transport is discussed as the main forecasting tool. The test computations have been performed for a set of the major power plants in a selected industrial region of Poland.

GIS implementation in air pollution analysis

Conference Chaaban, F

Air quality modeling and simulation is an indispensable tool used in different environmental studies that attempt to estimate air pollution levels caused by existing or planned combustion processes, to evaluate proposed emission reduction technologies, to select sites for new emission sources, and accordingly to establish emission control strategies in different energy conversion sectors. Modeling techniques, based on established mathematical formulation, are widely used for simulating air pollution caused mainly by the transportation and electric power sectors. Geographic information systems, GIS, link spatial information to alphanumeric information thus developing geographically referenced database. GIS systems have already been incorporated successfully into severalmore »« less
Potential Environmental Impacts of Hydrogen-based Transportation and Power Systems

Technical Report Grieb, Thomas; Mills, W; Jacobson, Mark; ...

Hydrogen (H2) offers advantages as an energy carrier: minimal discharge of pollutants, production from multiple sources, increased thermodynamic efficiencies compared to fossil fuels, and reduced dependence on foreign oil. However, potential impacts from the H2 generation processes, transport and distribution of H2, and releases of H2 into the atmosphere have been proposed. The goal of this project was to analyze the effects of emissions of hydrogen, the six criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases on climate, human health, materials and structures. This project was part of a larger effort by DOE to assess the life-cycle costs and benefits and environmental impactsmore »« less

Multi-model Simulation for Optimal Control of Aeroacoustics.

Technical Report Collis, Samuel; Chen, Guoquan

Flow-generated noise, especially rotorcraft noise has been a serious concern for bothcommercial and military applications. A particular important noise source for rotor-craft is Blade-Vortex-Interaction (BVI)noise, a high amplitude, impulsive sound thatoften dominates other rotorcraft noise sources. Usually BVI noise is caused by theunsteady flow changes around various rotor blades due to interactions with vorticespreviously shed by the blades. A promising approach for reducing the BVI noise isto use on-blade controls, such as suction/blowing, micro-flaps/jets, and smart struc-tures. Because the design and implementation of such experiments to evaluate suchsystems are very expensive, efficient computational tools coupled with optimal con-trol systems aremore »« less

The impact of environmental regulations on the optimal allocation of coal in the United States

Miscellaneous Kim, Jong

The purpose of this study is to model the impact of air pollution controls on the optimal allocation of coal among regions in the US. In order to meet this purpose, an objective but efficient model, which will minimize the total cost of transporting coal among regions and controlling sulfur pollution from sources, is formulated. In the process, a per-unit tax which is equal to the marginal damage cost of SO{sub x} emissions is used as the regulatory means of controlling acid rain. The mainland US is divided into five regions and the demand and supply of coal in eachmore »« less
Behavior of a polluted air mass under long-range transport induced by local flows

Thesis/Dissertation Chang, Y

Major aspects of physical and chemical transformations of the polluted air mass resulting from high-precursor emission fluxes of NOx, SOx, and reactive hydrocarbons and their subsequent long-range transport were evaluated. The ammonium-nitrate-aerosol equilibrium formulation of Stelson et al. (1982a,b) and the Advanced Scavenging Module of Hales (1984) are incorporated into the two-dimensional Sulfate Transport Eulerian Model II of Carmichael et al (1986). Diagnostic-model analysis for a better understanding of the relationships between transport and chemistry of the polluted air mass under rather-complex flow situations were performed. This study was conducted in the Kanto District and the Nagano Prefecture in Japanmore »« less
