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

Abstract

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-toenergy 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.
