APOM, the Air Pollutant Optimization Model, integrates a reduced form of a fully coupled atmospheric model within a unit commitment optimization model. This allows a fully dynamical approach towards electricity planning that accurately and rapidly minimizes both cost and health impacts.

Animation

The animation shows, on the left, a power plant in Georgia from July 4 to 11 in 2007, and on the right, how the power plant could have been operated to reduce health impacts.

Model

The APOM model is available. Please contact us and we will work with you to get you what you need.
