Teams

The following teams participated in the Final Event.

Scoring

Scoring according to the Scoring document, summarized as

For each scenario s, a prior point solution is constructed by keeping all variables fixed to their values in the prior operating point in the base case and the contingencies, projecting first the base case and then the contingencies to ensure feasibility of all hard constraints (details in the formulation document). Let MS^pp_s denote the market surplus of the prior point solution for scenario s. This value is computed independently from the solutions provided by competitors.

For any entrant, the solution to scenario s is evaluated and a market surplus MS^total_s is assigned. If no solution is returned, or the solution is incorrectly formatted, or the solution is determined to be infeasible, or the evaluated market surplus is less than MS^pp_s, then the assigned market surplus is MS^pp_s.

The score MS^gain_s, representing the gain in market surplus relative to the prior point, is computed as

MS^gain_{s =} MS^total_s - MS^pp_s

The score over a given set S of scenarios is

MS^gain = ∑_i∊S MS^gain_s

Competitors were given a chance to review results before they were posted. See the Results Certification Period information.
