The week before we left for spring break, my work for Sugar-DB focused mostly on our design report. As the designated project manager that week, I took on a lead role in the development of the report. This meant that, along with the subsections dedicated only to our forecasting design, I also wrote many of the general sections which applied to our entire project and handled most of the formatting of the document.
In the process of putting together this design report, I looked deeper into previous research and even found new sources that helped me narrow down our goals for the future and change some of our assumptions for the forecasting models. As a result of this research, I plan to focus my efforts after spring break ends on programming a working LSTM model, that can be fine-tuned and generalized to all three data pools (wind, solar, load). I plan to start with wind modeling, given the relative simplicity of the dataset.
