Nonparametric Demand Forecasting and Detection of Energy Aware Consumers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To increase the reliability of the power grid and reduce the risk of power supply failure, demand-side management (DSM) is of central importance. In this paper, a nonparametric test is applied to detect if the demand behavior of consumers is consistent with time-of-day electricity tariff initiatives. The test is based on Afriat's theorem in economics and has the unique feature that it provides necessary and sufficient conditions to detect if the price-demand behavior is consistent with utility maximization (i.e., the test detects demand-responsive consumers) without prior knowledge of the consumer's utility function. For consumers that are responsive to time-of-day pricing initiatives, a nonparametric learning algorithm is used to forecast power demands for unobserved electricity tariffs. The nonparametric learning algorithm can be used in anticipatory control structures in a DSM framework to achieve power usage objectives. Real-world data from Ontario's power system and numerical examples illustrate the accuracy of the nonparametric test and nonparametric learning algorithm for forecasting consumer demand.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
