Hello. There are two files in trainData.zip:

1. energy consumption.csv

2. solar power and weather condition.csv

These two files are not used at all in the scoring python script errorMetric_ex.py.

The solarPower (in line 196 of errorMetric_ex) and loadPower (in line 198 of errorMetric_ex) comes from "site information and grid outage.csv". So essentially, there is no source of RANDOMNES!

I feel that solarPower should be obtained from "solar power and weather condition.csv" and loadPower from "energy consumption.csv" to indicate the time-varying availability in solar power and energy consumption of a site.

Can someone please clarify this doubt?
