The hackathon AI for Green Energy: Smart Energy Challenge<\/strong>\u00a0 (in short hackoWatt<\/strong>) is an international event for students of IT, data science, and technology-related fields who want to use artificial intelligence to solve real-world energy challenges. Participation is possible both onsite and online.<\/span><\/p>\n During the hackathon, you will tackle a real-world problem inspired by the energy sector and power grid operations. Your goal will be to design a solution – an application or a tool – that helps optimize energy management in households using photovoltaic systems. What matters most is your idea, logic, and approach to solving the problem – not perfect code.<\/span><\/p>\n The hackathon concept has been developed with the support of experts from Vattenfall – one of Europe\u2019s largest producers and suppliers of electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n What is the challenge about?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n You will receive a realistic household scenario along with access to datasets such as weather forecasts, energy production and consumption data, and grid load information. Based on this, you will propose a solution that:<\/span><\/p>\n There is no predefined technology – you are free to choose the tools and approach that best fit your idea and team.<\/span><\/p>\n Why should you join?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Who is it for?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n For students who:<\/span><\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to be an energy expert – you will learn everything necessary to understand the challenge at the start.<\/span><\/p>\n Have an idea how AI can improve energy management? Build a team of 2 to 5 people, choose a leader and a team name and register by September 14, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n Join the HackoWatt<\/strong> and put your idea into practice!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Timeline” tab_id=”1709718951159-c1b69b6c-ce33″]\r\n Location<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Registration<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Preparation<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n 18 September<\/b> \u2013 onboarding session (online) and presentation of sample household scenarios to help you better understand the scope of the challenge.
