contents This paper investigates a generation expansion planning (GEP) problem encompassing renewable, thermal, and storage technologies while simultaneously optimizing market participation, operational expenditures, and capital investment. To alleviate the computational burden of the GEP model, we propose a novel iterative time series aggregation (TSA) method that constructs a temporally aggregated counterpart of the original full-scale GEP model. Unlike traditional TSA methods, which are purely heuristic, our method enables the assessment of the optimality gap between the aggregated and full-scale models. Moreover, by leveraging machine learning-based estimates of the GEP model marginal costs, the algorithm guides TSA to construct an aggregated model that preserves the active constraints of its full-scale counterpart, which has been shown to yield exact temporal aggregation. Numerical results show that incorporating estimated marginal costs as clustering features substantially improves the quality of temporal aggregation compared with traditional TSA methods that rely solely on input data analysis.
