Project 1 is an interactive web-based shiny application written in R language which visualizes data on electrical power generation in the US to give the users a better understanding of the amount and percent of the energy used in various states in the US and the District of Columbia between the years 1990 and 2019. The Shiny Dashboard consists of 6 representations of this data with 2 of each representation for the user to do a comparison between any of the 52 entries in the dataset. The color representation across all visualizations are consistent. Red is coal, hydro is blue, natural gas is yellow, geothermal is dark green, nuclear is green, petroleum is orange, solar is brown, wind is black and wood is navy blue.
The Dashboard will have this side panel with various user input options for the user to do a comparison. The left section is for the plots on the left of the screen and has data of Illinois from all years for all energy sources by default and the right section is for the plots on the right of the screen and has data of Total US from all years for all energy sources.
The tab menu will consist of respective visualizations and details
The about tab will have information on who created the project, when and the data used.
The images below are the various visualization of the data showing the amount and percent of each energy source per year from 1990 to 2019. The x-axis is the years and the y-axis is the amount of power used by each energy and the fill is each energy source. The visualization includes a legend showing the color representation of each energy. The left plots can be changed by the left side user input menu shown above and this shows data from Illinois. The right plots can be changed by the right side user input menu shown above and this shows data from the Total US.
