I'VE BEEN GETTING The site name or time length is wrong, please check your submission and The strategy is unfeasible, please re-design your strategy. every time i make submision or am i the only one experiencing ths?

Hi @meganomaly THERE IS AN ERROR in the calcSingleSiteScore function (below) with potential huge impact on the leaderboard.

Indeed when the battery discharges, the function uses the discharge coefficient till the end. But the discharge coefficient (1.2) is greater than the charge coefficient (0.2). This will artificially increase the stage of charge (SOC) and WILL MAKE FEASIBLE SOME STRATEGIES THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FEASIBLE. And it adds randomness to the evaluation because once it discharges for the first time, the charging steps are calculating with the discharge coefficients. Strategies that forced earlier discharges will be advantaged.

This is the two problematic lines of the function:

if sum < 0:

coe = float(config["disCoe"])

#

To solve it, it suffices to put the following line just after the for loop. :

coe = float(config["coe"])

😎

Huge important catch @Yisakberhanu. So I was right to insist concerning scoring function 😎. Now this is the second error in the scoring script. This makes the competition even sweeter. Couldn't wait for the scoring script update. Potentially this will increase the feasibility solutions space.

My bad, thank you :) !

EDIT: I don't know why my original message got deleted, in case someone else makes the same mistake as me (debunked below by marching_learning):

I had thought that there was a mistake in the scoring function, that the rated_voltage of the battery was not taken into account in the state of charge dynamics. But it's my mistake.

No in this case they got it right because of the second line:

capacity = float(config["ratedCapacity"]) * float(config["ratedVoltage"])

Read it back, you'll see 😎.

Without the 1/4 it would be the SOC after 1 hour, but the time step is 15 mins, I think it is ok.

This has been affecting my submission. @meganomaly. Please when it is corrected let us know!

@meganomaly

Could you clarify if this is a bug and if yes if you are going to fix it?

I guess there's a way to check the plausibility of this, if you know that outages are either very frequent or very sparse or if you know if they are more supposed to be at night or during the day.

where is the test data?
