What would a shared benchmark for contextual energy management provide?

OpenCEM presents a platform design connecting energy time series, events, human context, and simulation. An on campus solar and battery installation motivates evaluation of context sensitive control. The paper describes planned data and API capabilities.

Research themes

Connections

Context becomes an energy system input

OpenCEM motivates shared contextual energy benchmarks. INSTRUCT MPC uses instructions for control, while counterfactual load forecasting represents news events as interventions on electricity demand.

Open questions

Coordinated low carbon infrastructure

Can distributed energy and water resources adapt together under changing conditions?

Counterfactual load forecasting with LLM-structured events and representation learning

Yujie Chen, Yifei Gao, Runyao Yu, Yuhe Wu, Guangyu Wang, Yue Chen, Tongxin Li

NACF turns news into structured treatments and estimates load trajectories under alternative event conditions. Reweighting and representation balancing address observed confounding. Experiments examine factual accuracy and interpretable demand perturbations without claiming that unobserved counterfactual outcomes can be directly validated.

INSTRUCT MPC: A Human-LLM-in-the-Loop Framework for Context-Aware Control

Ruixiang Wu, Jiahao Ai, Tongxin Li

A language to distribution module converts contextual instructions into disturbance predictions for MPC. The framework closes the loop between instructions, predictions, and control, with a regret analysis for linear dynamics under the stated training assumptions.
