Abstract
The paper describes the DSS jointly developed by ETL/UoWM, EREL/NCSRD and PPC’s Department of Environment / Production. It is of an innovative environmental management system which aims to : (i) continuously monitor and predict air quality in the operating region of the power plants and (ii) support the decisions which are relative to the dispatching strategies of the power plants, in order to limit as far as possible the exceedance of the permissible levels of atmospheric pollution.
