EHTO is an interactive graphical environment for management of energy production and trade. It allows defining and configuring a complete energy system including production units, purchase and sales agreements, and energy balances graphically. A general mathematical modeling and optimization system based on decomposition techniques is embedded to the system, allowing immediate interactive planning, simulation and optimization. The system can be used both for long term off-line computations and for medium to short term on-line computation. The system is implemented in C++ using the graphical NEXUS application development framework. 14 refs, 4 figs, 1 tab
