In 2012, IEEE Working Group on Energy Forecasting organized the Global Energy Forecasting Competition (GEFCom2012). The competition, which included two tracks, Hierarchical Load Forecasting and Wind Power Forecasting, attracted thousands of data scientists from over 30 countries (see the map below). The 8 winning teams were formulated by people from 8 countries. The competition brought together many novel ideas that are meaningful to the improvement of the forecasting practices in the utility industry. In this webinar, I will present the lessons learned from GEFCom2012, which include several key findings and insights based on the approaches taken by the winning entries of both tracks. In addition, I will offer a preview of the future upgrades in GEFCom2014.
