Maon is a market simulation for fundamental electricity, gas and emission market analysis. It forecasts the hourly dispatch of all supply and demand in whole Europe.

Web browsers provide access to the data management, simulation and analysis environment. It enables high-speed, high-resolution and large-scale foresights. Scenarios can be parameterized by multiple users at the same time, calculated by one click and jointly visually analyzed.

Users get support by work-leveraging parameterization tools, comprehensive quality checks and interactive visualizations. Maon provides not only results like prices, dispatches and exchanges, but also revenues, costs, utilizations, capture rates, price distributions and thousands of other results.

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