An IT system for assessing the impact of energy objects on environment

The subject of the article is the author's information and computer system called WICS for assessing the impact of energy facilities on the environment. The paper substantiates the necessity of both performing such assessments and developing an appropriate system. When building an information and computer system, the authors used the following methods: methods for building client-server Web applications to optimize the requirements for users' computers and to organize teamwork; methods for constructing multi-agent systems for optimizing calculations. In order to implement the database, the authors applied ontological engineering of subject areas that are energy and ecology. The article shows the architecture of the developed system, describes the developed information subsystems based on approved normative methods for performing calculations. Empirical Bayesian kriging is used to interpolate the results of the analysis of snow tests for pollutants. There are the results of approbating the developed system on the example of data on the Central Ecological Zone of the Baikal Natural Territory. The proposed system can be used both for assessing the current situation with environmental pollution by energy objects, and when planning measures to reduce their harmful effects or installation of new generating capacities.
