Could you build this?
No Building accurate simulations of physical industrial operations for reinforcement learning requires deep thermodynamic/electrical modeling and access to proprietary industrial telemetry.
What it would actually take: The backend requires high-fidelity physics and discrete-event simulation engines integrated with standard RL environments (like Gymnasium), accurately calibrated against continuous SCADA telemetry from real plants. The engineering effort involves modeling complex equipment degradation, electrical grid constraints, and environmental weather interactions. This requires specialized researchers in reinforcement learning, power systems, and physical systems simulation.
