Electricity load consumption: forecasting and control

Celeste has a long-term collaboration with EDF R&D about electricity consumption. An important problem is to forecast consumption. We currently work on an approach involving back and forth disaggregation (of the total consumption into the consumptions of well-chosen groups/regions) and aggregation of local estimates. We also work on consumption control by price incentives sent to specific users (volunteers), seeing it as a bandit problem.
