Multi-Agent BESS Capacity Auction Strategy with AutoGen and Google Jules
This challenge focuses on building a multi-agent simulation to optimize bidding strategies for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the newly established German capacity market. Using Microsoft's AutoGen framework, you will design a system of collaborating agents: a 'Market Analyst' to forecast demand and prices, a 'BESS Operator' to calculate state-of-health and discharge costs, and a 'Bid Strategist' to synthesize these inputs into a winning auction bid. The implementation must incorporate Google Jules for AI-assisted engineering and code generation of the underlying physics-based battery models. Participants will tackle the complexities of energy arbitrage and capacity availability requirements. The goal is to maximize revenue while adhering to strict market regulations (such as those recently announced in Germany and Poland). You will need to implement complex logic for state-of-charge (SOC) management and cycling constraints, ensuring that the agents communicate effectively to reach a consensus on the optimal bid price and volume for a 200MW/800MWh BESS facility.
What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
Orchestrate a multi-agent system using AutoGen and Google Jules to simulate and optimize BESS participation in power capacity auctions.
How work is evaluated
The system will be evaluated on its ability to generate bids that maximize revenue without violating battery health constraints over a 30-day simulated period.
Challenge datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
How submissions are scored
These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.
SOC Constraint Test
Ensures the battery never discharges below 10% SOC based on the bidding strategy.
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
Revenue Efficiency
Ratio of achieved revenue to theoretical maximum revenue. • target: 0.85 • range: 0-1
