Current Challenge Overview:
Our primary challenge involves understanding what data we need and collecting appropriate datasets. We’re currently looking for localized time-series data relating solar and wind power statistics to weather patterns and using it to train a model for renewable generation and load forecasting. Selecting the right location is also and we are currently planning to choose representative states in the U.S. to cover most use cases. Additionally, we’re navigating and researching the complexities of integrating generic microgrid standards and power flow modeling programs. Risk management is a priority, and we’re developing a robust backup plan in case data collection encounters obstacles.
