SummaryThe present paper regards the location of obnoxious facilities in the context of a realistic environment. Efforts have been made in the past towards this direction, without much success as fas as the modeling is concerned. The prevailing meteorological conditions of the area under consideration, that evidently play an important role in the dispersion of pollution, either were completely ignored or inadequately considered. In this work, the most recent wind-discrete models and solution methods are presented and analyzed and their limitations are identified. A new simulation-aided wind-continuous model is introduced capable of remedying the above limitations. Finally, a generalization is proposed and discussed, regarding the introduction of the stack height as a decision variable in the relative model.ZusammenfassungIn dieser Arbeit werden zunächst die in neuerer Zeit entwickelten wind-diskreten Modelle und Verfahren zur Standortplanung für unerwünschte, umweltbelastende Anlagen analysiert und die Grenzen dieser Ansätze für die Lösung praktischer Problemstellungen aufgezeigt. Basierend auf diesen Erkenntnissen wird ein simulations-basiertes Verfahren für ein neues wind-stetiges Modell vorgestellt, das diese Schwachstellen überwindet. Abschließend wird das Basis-Standortmodell durch Einbeziehung der Emissionshöhe als Entscheidungsvariable erweitert.
