ShinyEnet: an in-house simulation software for data-driven waste-to-energy gasification and pyrolysis

ShinyEnet is an open-source software tool for modelling waste-to-energy processes, including gasification and pyrolysis. Developed at IT4Innovations, the National Supercomputing Centre of the Czech Republic at VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, it utilizes operational data from experimental facility at the Centre for Energy and Environmental Technologies—Explorer (CEETe), also part of the same university. The software models a modular, mobile, and scalable system that converts waste into gaseous or liquid fuels. ShinyEnet supports dynamic simulation, including component-failure cases, optimization, and scenario analysis. The platform thus facilitates development and assessment of compact and mobile waste-to-energy units and provides tools for addressing municipal waste-management challenges. ShinyEnet is based on real operational datasets, with continuously updated data currently available for the pyrolysis process via real-time monitoring system. The interactive web application is implemented using open-source Python libraries and employs validated historical data and machine-learning models to simulate and optimize system performance.
