Integrity and Analytics of Energy Market Data

ReWatt Power facilitates transactions of green energy derivatives/green attributes such as Alberta Carbon Offsets. The company uses a blockchain technology to manage all transactions on their platform. This way, all parties have access to the transaction history in a database they own, and the transactions are immutable. The first objective of this project is to ensure that source energy measurements are accurate before the resulting green attributes are permanently recorded. The second objective is to support customers in making decision on which energy derivative/green attribute should be used to maximize the monetary value of available measurements. This is a challenging prediction task that depends on attribute type, jurisdiction/geographical area, and time.
