Maon is a simulation environment for fundamental electricity, gas and emission market analysis. It simulates the hourly coupled dispatch of all supply and demand for up to 100 years in whole Europe.

Web browsers provide access to the data management, simulation and analysis environment. It enables high-speed, high-resolution and large-scale market forecasts. Runs can be efficiently parameterized, carried out by one click and directly visually analyzed for historical and future scenarios.

Users get support by various parameterization tools, comprehensive data quality checks and interactive data visualizations. Results like market price, unit-wise dispatch and exchange are prepared for social welfare analysis, power-flow simulations and techno-economic assessments.

Based on C++. Using Ansible, Ceph, cURL, Docker, GraphQL, Kubernetes, MinIO, MongoDB, Node.js, Preact, Python, TypeScript, WebAssembly for data processing.
