Risk-Aware Mid-Term Peak Load Forecasting Using Probabilistic Temperature Modeling and Extreme-Value Analysis
摘要
This paper proposes RAPTOR (Risk-Aware Probabilistic Temperature-Driven Framework) for mid-term probabilistic peak load forecasting under temperature uncertainty. The framework models temperature dynamics using deterministic seasonal–trend components and stochastic AR(1)-based residuals, enabling realistic representation of short-term persistence and clustered high-load behavior. Temperature sensitivity is estimated from recent data, and probabilistic peak load trajectories are generated via Monte Carlo simulation. Seasonal maximum load risk is quantified through parametric extreme-value modeling with a focus on reliability-relevant quantiles. A case study using Korean power system data shows that RAPTOR accurately captures both central tendency and upper-tail behavior of peak load distributions. In particular, the Gumbel distribution provides a more conservative and empirically consistent representation of upper-tail risk than the Normal distribution at the 95% reliability level. The proposed framework delivers quantile-based outputs directly applicable to reliability-oriented operational planning, offering a transparent and practical tool for mid-term power system planning under increasing climate-driven uncertainty.
