Using intelligent technologies for knowledge formation in research on the impact of power industry on ecology and quality of life

The article discusses the possibilities of using intelligent technologies, namely, ontological and cognitive modeling to represent knowledge in studies of the impact of energy facilities on the environment and the quality of life of the population. The relevance of this work is due to the need to improve research methods. An intelligent information system and an ontological space of knowledge are being developed, integrating tools and an information base to carry out research. It is proposed to use ontologies to identify and organize the basic concepts of different subject areas related to joint research, establish relationships between them, as well as for the structural representation of knowledge. The cognitive modeling methodology is designed to analyze and model situations and make coordinated decisions in the energy industry, taking into account its impact on the environment and quality of life. Cognitive modeling is used to identify causal relationships between concepts, visualize them, describe possible situations and support to decision-making.
