In April 2025 Kende Kocsis (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) and József Kövendi (Pázmány Péter Catholic University) participated in the National Scientific Student Conference (OTDK) competition, where the winners of the institutional student competition compare their knowledge, quality of their work and intellectual prowess with each other. Their work was an economic analysis of the optimal heat connection schemes of a Waste-to-Energy power plant in Southern-Budapest, along with a machine and deep learning based forecasting system for heat demand in the previously mentioned heating zones. Their research topic is integrated into the educational materials of the SHaKE project. Furthermore, Mr Kocsis is an active memeber of the SHaKE team in Budapest, giving several lectures about energy communities worldwide. József and Kende reached third place in their respective section, we would like to congratulate them for their achievement.
