Forecasting and diagnostic analysis of plume transport around a power plant

  • 1. Centro de Supercomputacion de Galicia, Santiago de Compostela (Spain)

Description

A nonreactive Lagrangian atmospheric diffusion model was used to simulate SO2 concentration around the As Pontes 1400-MW power plant located in northwestern Spain. This diffusion model has two types of input: 1) diagnostic wind fields from real measurements and 2) forecast wind fields from a 24-h mesoscale prediction. This model-based system was applied to a particular day around the As Pontes 1400-MW power plant. The shape of estimated and forecast plumes are compared, and the meteorological prediction results are analyzed
