Visualization approaches integrating real-time market data

Power system visualization is becoming an increasingly important topic, especially as it relates to showing real-time data about the power market to those who need that data to support market decisions. There is a wide tool set of visualizations available to the visualization designers, and tool used is highly dependent on the application desired. This paper explores the various types of power system visualizations, and describes several tools available to the visualization designer that may be used to get the data to those who need it in a meaningful and constructive way. Recommendations and design tips are given on when and how to use the various available tools.
