Summary:Thermal power technology has brought great convenience for human electricity energy demand, but thermal discharge from thermal power plants has caused great harm to the coastal environment. Therefore, it’s important to strengthen the monitoring of thermal pollution from power plants for guarantee the normal operation of coastal environment and ecological system. Thermal infrared remote sensing technology provides a new measure for monitoring the thermal discharge. In this paper, we use mono-window algorithm and Landsat thermal infrared data to retrieved the sea surface temperature around Xiangshan Power Plants, and achieved the result of 1~5.4°C temperature rise in 106.52km2 in Xiangshan Harbor, revealed the spatial distribution regularities of thermal discharge and discussed the influence of thermal discharge on costal environment.
