Challenges we ran into
While developing EcoBattery Guardian, we encountered several challenges:
Data Simulation: Creating realistic simulated data to train the prediction model was complex. We overcame this by using a combination of historical data and domain-specific knowledge to generate accurate simulations.
Model Accuracy: Ensuring the machine learning model's predictions were accurate and reliable required extensive testing and fine-tuning. We used cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning to improve model performance.
Integration with Flask: Integrating the machine learning model with the Flask web application and ensuring smooth communication between the backend and frontend was a hurdle. Thorough debugging and step-by-step testing helped resolve these issues.
User Interface Design: Designing a user-friendly interface that is both informative and intuitive took several iterations. We incorporated user feedback to refine the design.
