The winning project, titled “Dynamic Learning System for BEV Charging Demand Prediction,” addresses a pressing issue in the transportation sector, which significantly impacts global emissions. The transition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is crucial for reducing emissions but poses challenges to national grids and electricity generation systems. This concern spurred Dr. Roslinazairimah and her team to create a software capable of accurately predicting electricity demand from the private BEV charging point.

Utilizing a hybrid of time series and machine learning models, the software can effectively forecast electricity demand, facilitating better grid management and promoting the adoption of BEVs without overwhelming existing infrastructure. The project demonstrated the substantial benefits of integrating robust statistical models with machine learning to derive actionable data insights.
