This challenge invites you to predict the load on the Swiss transmission grid, for the next week, in hourly resolution. The load forecast is used to support some of the core operational tasks in Swissgrid, for example, from weekly planning to near-real-time operation. Load can be influenced by many factors on the grid, including historical load, weather, generations, seasonality, etc. You will get hands on the actual historical load data and other important inputs data to generate week-ahead load forecast. The improvement introduced in this forecast will be examined and applied to our operations when the performance is confirmed to be better – so this is a great chance to make the real impact to the energy industry.
