Abstract
This paper addresses the challenge of constructing a feature space for robust segmentation of load profiles in Arctic power systems, where extreme climatic non-stationarity and polar cycles invalidate assumptions of classical seasonality. Using data from three facilities collected between 2023 and 2025, a 36-dimensional feature vector was developed. Cluster analysis revealed 4–6 physically interpretable operating regimes, with Silhouette coefficients ranging from 0.68 to 0.74. Intra-cluster variance decreased by 40–60% compared to a single aggregated dataset, providing an empirical foundation for localized load modeling.
