Claim 11:
12. The emission location system of claim 11, further comprising:
a second air quality monitor comprising:
a second sensor responsive to the emissions event of the target substance; and
a second location at which the second air quality monitor is located on the site;
wherein the second air quality monitor is configured to:
sense a second set of attached parameters at the second location; and
transmit the second set of attached parameters to the first server;
a supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA system) at the site, the SCADA system configured to:
supervise a physical factor and an operational factor of at least a first device and at least a second device at the site;
acquire the physical factor and the operational factor from the first device and the second device at the site; and
acquire a set of SCADA data from the first device and the second device;
wherein the SCADA system is configured to transmit the set of SCADA data to the first server; and
a processing unit connected to the first server, configured to:
train an emissions-location machine learning model with:
the first server;
the first set of attached parameters sensed by the first air quality monitor;
the second set of attached parameters sensed by the second air quality monitor; and
the set of SCADA data,
wherein the emissions-location machine learning model generates a trained emissions-model parameter;
generate a simulation model of a plume of the target substance using the trained emissions-model parameter;
monitor, over a predefined time period and with the emissions-simulation model, the set of SCADA data, the first set of attached parameters and the second set of attached parameters;
refine, iteratively and over the predefined time period, the simulation model based on monitoring to a refined emissions-simulation model; and
locate the emission source of the target substance at the site with:
the refined emissions-simulation model,
the set of SCADA data, and
the trained emissions-model parameter.
