Search for: [Abstract = "The paper addresses problems of application of the air pollution forecasting models for supporting decisions concerning environment protection on a regional scale. The controlled object considered encompasses a set of pointwise emission sources, with a known location and emission characteristics. A set of emission reduction technologies with known efficiency and the unit cost is available. The goal is to assign a specific technology to each source, to reach the assumed environmental standard, subject to some economic constraints. The problem is formally stated as integer type, constrained minimization of certain objective function. In this paper an alternative, continuous formulation of the original problem is presented, where the differentiability of the cost functional and constrains can be utilized. Gradient optimization methods have been implemented and tested on the real data for the selected region. The case study relates to the set of major power plants in Silesia Region \(Poland\) and the basie desulphurization technologies, which are to be allocated."]
