However, since SHAP tends to overlook the recall of certain states in multi-classification problems, a feature subset optimization scheme is proposed. After conducting cross-validation with multiple classifiers and analyzing the impact of combined features, SHAP analysis is performed on the constructed features to generate a key feature union set. Once thresholds for overall accuracy and sub-state recall are set, features are sequentially removed from the union set while their compliance with the predefined thresholds is evaluated, thereby determining their retention. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 99.73 % accuracy in identifying winding looseness states, improving by 0.03 % compared to SHAP, while enhancing the recall of the severe fault state A3 by 0.26 %.

In the electricity bidding market, power generation companies and grid enterprises encounter increasingly complex multi-subject optimization decision-making challenges that cannot be comprehensively handled by conventional optimization methods due to their reliance on centralized objectives, perfect information, and fully rational participants. This survey focuses on long-term strategic bidding strategies, which involve sustained decision-making processes over extended periods to optimize cumulative profits and market positions. Moreover, classical game models assume complete rationality, thus failing to capture the iterative and adaptive decision-making behaviors prevalent in modern power markets. However, the long-term market bidding process involving groups of generators in the power generation-side market (PGM) under asymmetric information conditions is a complex process of long-term dynamic evolution. To contextualize these complexities, we incorporate a comparative survey illustrating the main methods, assumptions, and knowledge gaps in existing research, ensuring a clear understanding of why evolutionary game-theoretic approaches can more thoroughly capture the dynamic, bounded-rational nature of bidding. This paper reviews in detail the research on the application of EGT to multi-group bidding games in PGMs. First, the basic structure and development history of EGT are briefly introduced, and the essential differences between EGT and classical game theory (CGT) in terms of modeling are compared from several aspects, based on which several core concepts of EGT are further elaborated. Then, the relevant theories of electricity market (EM) are described, especially for the PGM, the definition and characteristics of EM are described, and the typical PGM transaction model and market bidding mechanism are summarized. Following that, this paper reviews and analyzes the current status of research on bidding strategies in PGMs from four aspects, including cost analysis of generators, electricity price forecasting, bidding behavior, and bidding decision support systems. On this basis, this paper reviews the research on the application of game theory, especially EGT, to long-term strategic bidding in PGM. In this paper, we also present a comparative case study between CGT and EGT to demonstrate how EGT better accounts for bounded rationality and dynamic strategy adaptation. Through our comparative case study, we show that EGT more accurately reflects real-world complexities, producing more robust and adaptive bidding outcomes than CGT. Finally, the paper concludes with a summary and outlook, aiming to provide new insights and practical guidance for power producers to formulate effective long-term bidding strategies in actual electricity market scenarios.
