基线估计对电力市场中的需求响应结算至关重要,但现有机器学习方法预测性能有限,因果推断与反事实预测方法在该领域仍应用不足。本文提出一种广义合成控制法(Generalized Synthetic Control Method),基于经济学中的经典合成控制法(SCM)。传统SCM为静态估计器,仅将处理单元拟合为同期对照组的线性组合,忽略了残差中的可预测时间结构。新框架通过引入外生特征、滞后处理负荷及选定滞后对照组信号,将基线估计转化为动态反事实预测问题。该增强表示能捕捉自回归依赖、延迟响应模式及误差修正效应,超越标准SCM能力。当线性加权不足时,框架还支持非线性预测器,在数据有限情况下优势最明显。在Ausgrid智能电表数据集上的实验显示,该方法持续优于经典SCM与主流基准方法,主要性能提升来自动态增强设计。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Baseline estimation is critical to Demand Response (DR) settlement in electricity markets, yet existing machine learning methods remain limited in predictive performance, while methodologies from causal inference and counterfactual prediction are still underutilized in this domain. We introduce a Generalized Synthetic Control Method that builds on the classical Synthetic Control Method (SCM) from econometrics. While SCM provides a powerful framework for counterfactual estimation, classical SCM remains a static estimator: it fits the treated unit as a combination of contemporaneous donor units and therefore ignores predictable temporal structure in the residual error. We develop a generalized SCM framework that transforms baseline estimation into a dynamic counterfactual prediction problem by augmenting the donor representation with exogenous features, lagged treated load, and selected lagged donor signals. This enriched representation allows the estimator to capture autoregressive dependence, delayed donor-response patterns, and error-correction effects beyond the scope of standard SCM. The framework further accommodates nonlinear predictors when linear weighting is inadequate, with the greatest benefit arising in limited-data settings. Experiments on the Ausgrid smart-meter dataset show consistent improvements over classical SCM and strong benchmark methods, with the dominant performance gains driven by dynamic augmentation.
