Space Apps Challenge 2017

HI-SEAS and future space mission groups will be highly dependent on relatively scarce solar energy. Our project seeks to help groups like HI-SEAS manage their power usage effectively, by determining the amount of energy available via a weather model as well as monitor their usage via a web app that can be run locally on-site.

Over time we hope that the model will become more sophisticated and that the UI will be updated to better reflect the needs of our users.

Hackathon achievements:

1. Built a prediction model based on HI-SEAS weather data (source dataset from NASA and a third party source)

2. Built a prototype UI to demonstrate multi-user support and visualization of energy usage.
