Abstract:

The accurate prediction of carbon prices provides valuable information to practitioners, supports market development, and help the dual-carbon target to be realized on schedule. Therefore, how to construct an efficient, accurate and stable carbon price prediction model has become a major research issue. However, carbon price interval prediction poses significant challenges due to the need to balance interval width and coverage. An innovative time-varying weighted ensemble interval prediction model, based on mixed quantile regression, is proposed to quantify the uncertainty of carbon prices. Two hybrid quantile models are constructed using advanced time-series deep learning algorithms for predicting carbon price intervals. To improve prediction precision, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is developed, dynamically assigning time-varying weights to optimize the upper and lower bounds of combined interval predictions, striking a balance between interval width and coverage. Historical carbon trading data from two representative Chinese pilots, sourced from the Wind database, are used for empirical validation. The results demonstrate that the proposed model performs robustly across various pilot applications, significantly enhancing the reliability and precision of prediction intervals. A valuable tool is provided for practitioners, enabling carbon price predictions with high coverage while effectively controlling interval width.
