Analysis: Estimation of power consumption costs #37

(Not confirmed) currently two parts:

Cost-efficient season to grow plants (e.g., coldest period in SG).
Cost-efficient period to grow plants (e.g., 7 am - 7 pm).

Currently looking into Cloud Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions on GCP.

Approach for cost-efficient season to grow plants:

Categorise ranges for different external temperatures into low, average, and high.
Run script on data for the past month.
Calculate power consumption costs for respective temperature ranges.
Store values and return the best temperature range.

Likely to use similar approach for cost-efficient period to grow plants (will just categorise data into day/night times).

Note: Will not be using Cloud Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions on GCP.

Code has been successfully implemented and tested. However, current algorithm for cost-efficient season is no good for actual deployment (due to nested loops with the enormous number of iterations).

Hence, reviewing code to optimise performance before committing to remote repository.

Sample test result for cost-effective period:

Code successfully optimised (mostly due to the dictionary data structure); ready for deployment.
