Maon is an integrated digital platform for electricity market and system analysis. The included electricity market model simulates the annual dispatch of all supply and demand in every bidding zone in Europe.
Web browsers provide access to the simulation suite that derives electricity price and transmission grid usage forecasts. Runs can be carried out immediately with calibrated input data for historical and future scenarios.
Users get support by processing tool kits, data quality checks and geographical visualizations. Unit commitment and market price results are prepared for applications like social welfare analysis or power-flow simulations.
Based on C++, IBM CPLEX. Using Kubernetes, Docker, Ceph, Ansible, MinIO, MongoDB, Preact, Node.js, GraphQL, Python, WebAssembly, cURL, OpenMPI for data processing.
