A Multi-Agent System for Power Plants Air Pollution Monitoring

Intelligent real time power plants air pollution monitoring is one of the current challenges for the research communities from the power industry, control engineering, electronics, environmental engineering and artificial intelligence fields. The use of distributed artificial intelligence approaches can provide efficient solutions to an intelligent monitoring. The paper presents a multi-agent system for monitoring urban air pollution due to power plants operation. A case study is discussed for the Ploieşti town area, where several refineries are located around it, some of them being thermal power providers. The multi-agent system was tested as a simulation.
