Future Impacts of Distributed Power Generation on Ambient Ozone and Particulate Matter Concentrations in the San Joaquin Valley of California

Abstract: Distributed power generation-electricity generation that is produced by many small stationary power generators distributed throughout an urban air basin-has the potential to supply a significant portion of electricity in future years. As a result, distributed generation may lead to increased pollutant emissions within an urban air basin, which could adversely affect air quality. However, the use of combined heating and power with distributed generation may reduce the energy consumption for space heating and ai… Show more

“…Local impact studies have mostly used Gaussian dispersion models without chemistry to assess near-source exposure to particulate matter (PM) and the gaseous pollutant NO 2 (e.g., Jing and Venkatram, 2011), although the recent study of the air quality impacts of diesel BUGs by Tong and Zhang (2015) improved on this by employing a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model with limited NO x chemistry. Regional impact studies have employed 3D Eulerian chemical transport models (CTMs) to assess issues related to ozone or PM attainment under the U.S. Clean Air Act (e.g., Vutukuru et al, 2011). The emphasis of these previous studies has mainly been on the so-called criteria pollutants, with little attention to hazardous air pollutants that are products of incomplete combustion, such as formaldehyde.…”
