Accurate power load forecasting is essential for grid stability and energy management.

摘要

Accurate power load forecasting is essential for grid stability and energy management. To address the limitations of existing models in capturing hierarchical periodic features and fusing multi-source meteorological data, this paper proposes a Transformer-based Dual-Scale Attention (DSA) framework. The model incorporates: (1) Cyclical positional encoding that explicitly represents daily/weekly/seasonal temporal structures using sine-cosine transforms; (2) Parallel intra-day and inter-day attention branches decoupling short-term dynamics (15-min resolution) and long-term trends (daily profiles) through transpose-concatenation fusion; (3) Path tokenization compressing long sequences into fixed-length segments, reducing memory overhead. Validated on 2021–2024 provincial industrial data (15-min granularity), DSA achieves 95% average accuracy for 72-h forecasts in MAPE. The model demonstrates robustness to meteorological anomalies.
