Monitoring of harmful industrial emissions is one of the main tools for determining the environmental characteristics of industrial facilities. Therefore, organization of systems for continuous monitoring of hazardous emissions (CMHE) of TPPs into the atmosphere is one of the priority tasks of the energy strategy of Russia. The subject of development is the system of continuous monitoring and regulation of TPPs harmful emissions into the atmosphere with flue gases. A CMHEconsists of automatic measuring complex for instrumental estimation of specific and gross emissions of harmful substances and information-computing complex, including hardware and software for information processing and providing various service functions. Using the system of continuous monitoring and regulation of emissions will reduce the negative impact of TPPs on the environment, as well as increase the efficiency of power equipment operation.
According to the concept and terms of reference developed by the Moscow Power Engineering Institute under the program "Higher School Scientific Research in Priority Areas of Science and Technology" (subprogram 207, section 207.02) and R&D, regional power systems Tatenergo, Nizhnovenergo and Tumenergo are implementing an industrial monitoring system at their thermal power plants. The latter is realized as a system of continuous control and regulation of the combustion process and emissions of toxic substances into the atmospheric air. The use of a continuous emission monitoring system will reduce the negative environmental impact of thermal power plants, as well as improve the efficiency of power equipment operation.
