GENNER

Calculation core of the tool NERUDA inc. interface for the loading of the input data. It is based on the partial results of the project WtECC (Waste-to-Energy competence Centre). The implementation is in GAMS environment and MS Excel VBA forms. The type of network is the producer-processor. The model considers 3 types of primary and 2 types of residual (secondary) waste streams.

The tool is designed for calculations on a micro-regional territorial level, which corresponds with 206 territorial units for Czech Republic. With respect to the waste properties, network edges are constructed only to the processing sites, where it can be processed.

Default version considers 3 types of processing facilities, but it can be modified according to user’s preferences. For specified network layout, there are about 37 thousand of edges in the model. The calculation of a single scenario takes about 5 minutes, while loading input files requires 2.5 minutes.

The development of these software was funded by Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under project No. TE02000236 “Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Competence Centre”.
