<p>Economic generation scheduling determines the most efficient and economic means of dispatch of generated energy to meet the continuously varying load demand at the most appropriate minimum cost, while meeting all the units equality and inequality constraints in  power network. This is currently not applicable in Nigeria power network. The network under study consists of seventeen (17) generating stations (Existing Network, National Integrated Power Projects and the Independent Power Producers). This work investigates economic generation and scheduling in Nigeria 330KV integrated power network at minimum operating cost using the classical kirmayer’s method and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for its optimization in Matlab environment. ANN is trained to adopt its pattern at different load demands and acquires the ability to give load demand as soon as the set target and goal tends to equality. Cost function for each generating unit as well as a model for economic generation scheduling was developed.</p>

The paper presents a method of researching the impact of urban development on air quality on the basis of artificial neural network (ANN). Statistical data in a monitoring period constitute a sample which contains monitoring values of environmental impact factors and air pollution indicators. Several samples are employed to train the ANN, and the mapping relationship between environmental impact factors and air pollution indicators is established through the trained ANN. The impact degree of each environmental impact factor on each air pollution indicator can be obtained by using the connection weights of the trained ANN. The case study illustrates the feasibility of the method mentioned in the paper which explores a new idea to the study of environmental impact of urban development.
