2025 focus: Smart grids for electric vehicle charging
This year’s challenge centers on sustainable electric vehicle charging, as Consid joins forces with the Swedish energy company Vattenfall AB. Participants will take on the role of grid strategists, using AI and ML to develop algorithms that improve EV charging in urban environments. The aim: maximize customer satisfaction, cost efficiency, and energy distribution capacity.
The challenge is built on PowerZone, a simulation game that replicates a city-wide EV charging network. Using real-world data from Vattenfall, participants will develop pattern recognition algorithms. An interactive map visualizes charging zones and customer movement, helping players understand the impact of each decision while enhancing the gaming experience.
