TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY & VERIFICATION SPECIFICATION

GridLoom Europe: Mathematical Model, Units & Reproducible Benchmarks

Role & Domain Intent: European energy forecast experiments (Demand/solar/price backtests, not an Internet exchange or network power-flow solver.)

1. GOVERNING FORMULATION

Equations, Variables & Dimensional Rules

Precomputed European demand, solar and price forecast experiments with held-out backtests.

ŷ_{t+h} = β_0 + Σ_k β_k Φ_calendar(t+h) + Σ_j α_j y_{t+h−24j} (Calendar-Ridge + Local-Seasonal ensemble with empirical residual quantile intervals [q_{0.10}, q_{0.90}])

Declared Units: Load and solar generation in megawatts (MW); day-ahead electricity price in EUR/MWh; history window = 56 days (1,344 hourly rows ending 2026-10-05T00:00:00Z); forecast horizon = 72 hours.

2. REPRODUCIBLE WORKED EXAMPLE

Step-by-Step Numerical Verification

Market DE:DE-LU (Germany/Luxembourg bidding zone, 1,344 hourly training rows from 2026-08-10 to 2026-10-04 UTC): At 2026-10-05T00:00:00Z, the 72-hour ahead load forecast is 40,682.27 MW with empirical interval [38,991.57 MW, 42,372.98 MW], evaluated alongside solar generation (MW) and price (EUR/MWh) held-out backtests.
