About

A visual companion to electricity markets.

What is Seeing Markets?

An interactive visual introduction to how electricity markets work — clearing, auctions, balancing, strategic bidding — turned into things you can play with. The structure follows the course Renewables in Electricity Markets (46755) at DTU. Any errors are mine.

Why does it exist?

Electricity markets are intuitive in motion but hard to grasp on paper. Inspired by Brown University's Seeing Theory , this site does for energy markets what that project did for statistics.
