Hydropower Market Game
Abstract
SF-25-121 The Hydropower Market Game is an interactive educational software developed to teach fundamental concepts of hydropower generation, operations, and its role within electricity markets. Developed in Python and powered by Pygame, the game combines narrative-driven learning with progressive, hands-on levels where players explore topics such as the relationship between water flow and power generation, dam operations, pumped-storage systems, market interactions, and environmental constraints.Designed to support outreach and workforce development initiatives, the game provides an intuitive and engaging way to build energy literacy and raise awareness of hydropower’s contribution to the nation’s energy system.
