Project 2 is an interactive web-based shiny application written in R language which visualizes the data on electrical power generation in the US to give the users a better understanding of the amount of different energies used in various states in the US and the number of power plants in each state and what type of energy is used there etc. The data is from years 2000,2010 and 2018. https://www.epa.gov/egrid/download-data
The Shiny Dashboard consists of 3 representations of this data in leaflet plot. 1st representation is a leaflet map showing all power plants in Illinois in 2018. 2nd representation is two leaflet maps side by side with options such as energy source,year and state for the user to do a comparison between any of the 52 entries in the dataset. The color representation across all visualizations are consistent. Coal is green, Hydro is black, Natural gas is orange, Geothermal is red, Nuclear is purple, Oil is blue, Solar is yellow, Wind is light green, Biomass is pink, Other is brown.
