Energy systems are complex networks consisting of various interconnected components. Accurate energy demand and supply forecasts are crucial for efficient system operation and decision-making. However, high-dimensional data, complex network structures, and dynamic changes and disruptions in energy networks pose significant challenges for forecasting models. To address this, we propose a hybrid approach for resilient forecasting of network time series (HRF-NTS) in the energy domain. Our approach combines mathematical optimization methods with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to achieve accurate and robust forecasts for high-dimensional energy network time series. We incorporate an optimization framework to account for uncertainties and disruptive changes in the energy system. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a case study of forecasting energy demand and supply in a complex, large-scale natural gas transmission network. The results show that the hybrid approach outperforms alternative prediction models in terms of accuracy and resilience to structural changes and disruptions, providing stable, multi-step ahead forecasts for different short to mid-term forecasting horizons.
