Abstract

The object of this study is to identify changes in air pollution in the maximum ground level concentration and the surrounding area when air pollution control facilities are improved in the thermal power plants. The effects of improved facilities are analyzed by comparing air quality after applying improved air pollution control facilities. For prediction of air quality, the change of wind field can be represented with movement of Puff and CALPUFF Model, air pollution diffusion models which can implement abnormal conditions. Major air pollutants of thermal power plants such as $SO_2$, $NO_2$, and $PM_{10}$ are selected as prediction items. That results show that improvement of air pollution control facilities is significantly effective in reduction of air pollution of $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ in the maximum ground level concentration and areas around of thermal power plants. In the case of $PM_{10}$, it is found that the effect of reduction in pollution is high in the maximum ground level concentration, but the effect of reduction in air pollution is somewhat low in the area around of the thermal power plant.

본 연구의 목적은 대표적 점오염원인 석탄화력발전소의 대기오염방지시설을 개선했을 때 최대 착지 농도 및 주변지역의 대기오염도 변화를 파악하는데 있다. 대기오염방지시설 개선 전 후의 대기질을 예측 비교하여 시설의 개선 효과가 어느 정도인지를 분석하였다. 대기질 예측에는 바람장의 변화를 Puff의 이동으로 나타낼 수 있고, 비정상 상태를 구현 할 수 있는 대기오염확산모델인 CALPUFF 모델을 이용하였다. 화력발전소의 주요 대기오염배출 물질인 아황산가스($SO_2$), 이산화질소($NO_2$), 먼지($PM_{10}$) 항목을 예측 항목으로 선정하였다. 연구결과 $SO_2$, $NO_2$ 항목은 대기오염방지시설 개선으로 인하여 최대 착지지점 및 주변지역의 대기질 오염도 감소에 상당히 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. $PM_{10}$ 항목의 경우에는 최대 착지지점에서는 오염도 감소 효과가 높으나, 석탄 화력발전소 주변지역의 대기오염도 감소 효과는 다소 낮게 분석되었다.
