We may have gone overboard with the references to Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” for this challenge, but at its core, we are asking you two to do two things: load forecast and try out the new Real Time Integration Platform (RTDIP). Load forecasting is still a complex problem, and we need you to find new methods for making predictions more reliable. The RTDIP is an open-source package that allows different devices, data sources, and tools to come together to help understand how energy (or anything for that matter) changes in real-time. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with.
