HydroBoost aims to use energy, weather and water forecast data to improve these predictions, though this data is not easily accessible. Additionally, running HydroBoost can be unintuitive for users who are not comfortable using the command line. To address these barriers, the Clinic team created an open access, human-readable database of forecasts and a user-friendly web application to run HydroBoost.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idaho National Laboratory Computer Science\/Mathematics, 2025\u201326 Liaison(s): Hill Balliet \u201918, Dr. Tyler Phillips Advisor(s): Emma Beer Students(s): Josh Ilachinski (TL-S), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140,185],"tags":[720],"class_list":["post-14876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computer-science","category-mathematics","tag-idaho-national-laboratory"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14876"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14919,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14876\/revisions\/14919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
