How does the framework deal with deep uncertainty?
Three tiers: (1) Probabilistic forecasting (PICP=95.4%, MPIW=11.8 GW), (2) Bootstrap (30 agents, 90% CI), (3) Scenario sensitivity (±30% cost, ±20% demand, ±50% carbon).
Key Takeaway
The framework uses probabilistic forecasting, bootstrap, and scenario sensitivity for deep uncertainty.
Detailed Explanation
The framework incorporates a three-tier strategy to manage uncertainties. The first tier involves probabilistic forecasting. ENSM relies on Monte Carlo dropout to generate probabilistic estimates of capacity and generation which will have calibrated 95% prediction intervals, PICP=95.4% and MPIW=11.8 GW. This will create an umbrella that captures epistemic uncertainty from the model parameters and aleatory uncertainty from the stochastic processes in the optimal control problem. The second tier consists of rigorous testing of policy robustness. The RL policies will be subjected to bootstrap quantification of uncertainty. This will be through the independent training of 30 agents that will have different random seeds with the extraction of 90% confidence intervals for key metrics (renewable share [94.12%, 98.54%], total investment [235.2B]). The last tier consists of scenario sensitivity analysis. The incremental stress testing will be done through perturbing parameters such as ±30% solar/wind CAPEX, ±20% demand growth, ±50% carbon price, ±15% resource availability, and ±40% storage costs. The results confirm the robustness of the policy, as the share of renewables remains above 90% across all the tested disturbances. Also, the required investment varies only by ±8% around its baseline as therefore the solution is stable under what is characterized deep uncertainty of long-horizon energy investment planning.
