It highlights transport flows, trade relations, traffic, and production and conversion processes, explaining that a Sankey diagram encodes quantitative information via directed, weighted links whose width reflects weight. Examples reference energy distribution in a city, mapping energy flow structures such as local heat, electricity, transport, and long-distance heat.
