Abstract

In response to China’s dual-carbon strategy, this study proposes a comprehensive analytical framework to identify the evolutionary pathways of key policy tasks in developing a new-type power system. A dual-channel data acquisition process was designed to extract, standardize, and segment policy documents and online texts into a unified corpus. A multi-label BERT classification model was then developed, incorporating domain-specific terminology injection, label-wise attention, dynamic threshold scanning, and imbalance-aware weighting. The model was trained and validated on 200 energy news articles, 100 official policy releases, and 10 strategic planning documents. By the 10th epoch, it achieved convergence with a Macro-F1 of 0.831, Micro-F1 of 0.849, and Samples-F1 of 0.855. Ablation studies confirmed the significant performance gain over simplified configurations. Structural label analysis showed “Build system-friendly new energy power stations” was the most frequent label (107 in plans, 80 in news, 24 in policies) and had the highest co-occurrence (81 times) with “Optimize and strengthen the main grid framework.” The label co-occurrence network revealed multi-layered couplings across generation, transmission, and storage. The Priority Evaluation Index (PEI) further identified “Build shared energy storage power stations” as a structurally central task (centrality = 0.71) despite its lower frequency, highlighting its latent strategic importance. Within the domain of national-level public policy and planning documents, the proposed framework shows reliable and reusable performance. Generalization to sub-national and project-level corpora is left for future work, where we will extend the corpus and reassess robustness without altering the core methodology.
