Call for Competition
Forecasting of electric energy consumption can be a very difficult tasks when handling building-level data. However, an accurate forecast is needed to boost the potential of energy management systems. The need to forecast energy consumption grows as our reliance on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, grows. This means that to meet consumer demand with renewable energy generation, energy management systems must operate based on accurate energy forecasting models for both short and long-term periods. Energy consumption forecasting techniques that can manage a variety of scenarios, including varying prediction timeframes, accessible data, data frequency, and even data quality, have been the subject of intense research. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, where certain situations call for different approaches. The goal of this competition is to compile and evaluate the most recent advances in energy consumption forecasting techniques.
