The 3D Solar Visibility Prize competition period has officially begun, and the anonymized results are in! On Day 5 of the 14-day competition, Wulfenite is in the lead, with Pearl in second place, with Canasite very close behind in third place.
Teams are battling it out to see whose tool to measure distributed solar generation provides the most accurate, real-time estimation of the state of an electric power system. From Sept. 2–15, competitors submit their Distribution System State Estimation solutions every day for two distribution system networks through the Open Energy Data Initiative for solar systems integration (OEDI SI) platform. Results are compared against actual data captured in the OEDI SI platform.
The leaderboard tab on HeroX shows the rankings for each team as an anonymous gemstone pseudonym. Results are updated daily.
The 3D Solar Visibility Prize will award up to $175,000 to up to five competitors, anticipating two winners and three runners-up. Winners will receive $50,000 each and runners-up will receive $25,000 each.
