• Abstract: With the expansion of renewables in the electricity mix, power grid variability will increase, hence a need to robustify the system to guarantee its security. Therefore, Transport System Operators (TSOs) must conduct analyses to simulate the future functioning of power systems. Then, these simulations are used as inputs in decision-making processes. In this context, we investigate using deep learning models to generate energy production and load forecast trajectories. To capture the spatiotemporal correlations in these multivariate time series, we adapt autoregressive networks and normalizing flows, demonstrating their effectiveness against the current copula-based statistical approach. We conduct extensive experiments on the French TSO RTE wind forecast data and compare the different models with \textit{ad hoc} evaluation metrics for time series generation.

  Long-term time-series forecasting (LTTF) has become a pressing demand in many applications, such as wind power supply planning. Transformer models have been adopted to deliver high prediction capacity because of the high computational self-attention mechanism. We propose an efficient Transformerbased model, named Conformer, which differentiates itself from existing methods for LTTF in three aspects.

We apply the four validation methods to both the historical and the generated data and discuss the interpretation of validation results as well as common mistakes, pitfalls, and limitations of the validation methods.
