Welcome to Power TAC
This space is for participants in the Power TAC competitive simulation. Here we can develop and discuss the overall simulation scenario design, game and tournament structures, building broker agents, and analyzing simulation data.
Please feel free to add material to existing pages, create new pages, and add your comments in the discussion pages. If you are interested in joining the development team, please see the developer's forum, and the primary development site at github.
Power TAC papers:
- A high-level overview of the scenario, emphasizing motivation and background.
- An earlier concept for the Power TAC scenario.
Latest competition results
- Thanks to everyone who made the 2013 Power TAC tournament a big success. TacTex (Dan Urieli at UT Austin) took the honors, followed closely by cwiBroker (Jasper Hoogland at CWI Amsterdam).
Plans for 2014
- Ideas and discussion of possible features and improvements for the 2014 competition.
Game Design
- See the formal Power TAC game specification for full details on the design current competition.
- The linked page is for discussion and development of the details of the game design, as well as the research issues that need to be addressed by the game and its community.
Getting Started
- Instructions for installing the Power TAC server, and for building a broker agent.
Release History
- Download links for the code, along with the release history of the simulation server and other components of the Power TAC technical environment.
Power TAC Architecture
- Top-level architecture, documentation and Project Glossary.
Resources
- Access to data, tools, etc.
- Javadocs are posted for the domain model and for the Power TAC simulation server. This is updated within an hour whenever a change is made. Currently this javadoc is for the current development master, not for any particular release.
- There is considerable detail on the design of the simulation server and other elements of the Power TAC architecture on the Power TAC github wiki.
- Ongoing discussion on the Power TAC system and its use, including announcements of new releases, is on the Power TAC developer's forum at nabble.
- Once you have watched games on the visualizer a few times, the best way to gain a detailed understanding of how the simulation works is to analyze the logfiles.
Analyses
- Discussion of analysis needs, and results of analyses.
Background Reading
- Links to papers and other resources to get up to speed in the energy trading domain.
Past Tournaments
- A discussion of past tournaments.
- As part of the Powertac specifications, participants are required to share their broker implementation after tournaments.:
- The used brokers can be found there as well.
