Abstract
In this article, mathematical expressions that represent the
dynamics of air pollution associated with electric power generating
industries ( in particular, atmospheric Co2 ) is proposed using an
optimal control theory approach. The model is characterized via
Pontyagins maximum/minimum principles. Electric power plants
efficiency improvement was introduced through applying technologies. The optimality system is established in attempt to minimize
both the cost of applying technology for efficiency improvement
as well as the atmospheric emission while maximizing the electric
power generation output.
