However, conventional monitoring practices are often hindered by high costs, data latency, and the failure of static models to adapt to dynamic environmental shifts. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an adaptive dynamic prediction framework grounded in an “electricity-to-carbon” mechanism. First, a hybrid Grey Model-Backpropagation (GM(1,1)-BP) neural network is developed to precisely model the non-linear coupling between power consumption and carbon emissions. Next, a Fuzzy-Weighted Drift Detection Method (FW-DDM) is integrated to monitor the prediction error stream in real time, triggering online model retraining immediately upon the detection of concept drift. Furthermore, Monte Carlo resampling is employed to quantify prediction uncertainty. Empirical results from Guangdong Province validate the feasibility of inferring carbon emissions from high-frequency electricity data, underscoring the proposed framework’s superior robustness in non-stationary environments. Finally, this paper discusses future research directions and the broader application prospects of “electricity-to-carbon” technologies at enhanced spatiotemporal resolutions.
