CEN/TS 17198:2018 (E)
Introduction
Predictive emission monitoring systems (PEMS) are used for continuous monitoring of emissions at
stationary sources as an alternative and/or backup for automated measuring systems (AMS). PEMS
define the relationship between a number of characteristic process parameters of an emission source and
the corresponding emission concentration. If the characteristic process parameters are continuously
monitored it is possible with a PEMS to continuously determine the emission concentration of the
emission source.
PEMS are deduced using process data and, where required, emission data from the emission source.
Using these data the PEMS is modelled. PEMS contains an emissions model and a sensor validation system
for quality assurance of incoming process data.
PEMS are plant-specific emission monitoring systems and vary as regards to methodology and design:
— relational models (emission concentration as a function of one or more process parameters):
theoretical or empirical relations that are fitted to a plant-specific emission data set;
— nonlinear statistical models, e.g. neural network models, or other multiple regression techniques.
Where a component or process is specifically stated, the reference is provided as an example.
The range of application of PEMS is limited to plants with well-defined fuels and operating conditions,
using inherent emission control systems. If multiple fuels are used all fuel variations are reflected in the
emission model. Using inherent emission control systems means not having a downstream emission
abatement system.
PEMS is illustrated in Figure 1. It consists of:
— PEMS software, which is certified according to an EN 15267 procedure, with the exceptions stated in
this Technical Specification;
— PEMS emissions model, which is documented by a QAL1 and validated by a QAL2 procedure
according to EN 14181, with the exceptions stated in this Technical Specification;
— PEMS sensor validation system, which is documented by a QAL1 and validated by a QAL2 procedure
according to EN 14181, with the exceptions stated in this Technical Specification.

Introduction
Predictive emission monitoring systems (PEMS) are used for continuous monitoring of emissions at
stationary sources as an alternative and/or backup for automated measuring systems (AMS). PEMS
define the relationship between a number of characteristic process parameters of an emission source and
the corresponding emission concentration. If the characteristic process parameters are continuously
monitored it is possible with a PEMS to continuously determine the emission concentration of the
emission source.
PEMS are deduced using process data and, where required, emission data from the emission source.
Using these data the PEMS is modelled. PEMS contains an emissions model and a sensor validation system
for quality assurance of incoming process data.
PEMS are plant-specific emission monitoring systems and vary as regards to methodology and design:
— relational models (emission concentration as a function of one or more process parameters):
theoretical or empirical relations that are fitted to a plant-specific emission data set;
— nonlinear statistical models, e.g. neural network models, or other multiple regression techniques.
Where a component or process is specifically stated, the reference is provided as an example.
The range of application of PEMS is limited to plants with well-defined fuels and operating conditions,
using inherent emission control systems. If multiple fuels are used all fuel variations are reflected in the
emission model. Using inherent emission control systems means not having a downstream emission
abatement system.
PEMS is illustrated in Figure 1. It consists of:
— PEMS software, which is certified according to an EN 15267 procedure, with the exceptions stated in
this Technical Specification;
— PEMS emissions model, which is documented by a QAL1 and validated by a QAL2 procedure
according to EN 14181, with the exceptions stated in this Technical Specification;
— PEMS sensor validation system, which is documented by a QAL1 and validated by a QAL2 procedure
according to EN 14181, with the exceptions stated in this Technical Specification.

This Technical Specification does not provide requirements for PEMS hardware. If the PEMS requires
specific hardware, relevant standards for certification of PEMS hardware are used.

3.1
automated measuring system
AMS
measuring system permanently installed on site for continuous monitoring of emissions or measurement
of peripheral parameters
Note 1 to entry: An AMS is a method which is traceable to a reference method.
Note 2 to entry: Apart from the analyser, an AMS includes facilities for taking samples (e.g. sample probe, sample
gas lines, flow meters, regulators, delivery pumps) and for sample conditioning (e.g. dust filter, water vapour
removal devices, converters, diluters). This definition also includes testing and adjusting devices that are used for
regular functional checks.
