Abstract: The smooth operation of the power system imposes high requirements on wind power forecasting. Given the forecasting challenges brought by the coexistence of strong and weak disturbances in wind power data, this paper proposes a hierarchical anti-disturbance mechanism to raise the accuracy of single-point wind power prediction. In the first-level disturbance processing, we prioritize the treatment of strong disturbances in wind power data through a dual-branch multi-source fusion prediction structure. The wind power subsequences with distinct time–frequency characteristics are divided into two sets, processed by the stationary set prediction branch and the drastic set prediction branch, respectively. For the drastic set, we incorporate microenvironmental multi-source data surrounding the wind turbine as input and propose a parallel-structured attention fusion module CA (Convolution attention fusion block) to provide effective data support for the prediction module, then extract rich fusion features through deep temporal LSTM algorithm and ultimately achieve fine-grained forecasting. For weak disturbances that have not been adequately addressed in the previous step, we conduct a secondary treatment through error correction strategy. By employing the hierarchical processing approach, this paper accomplishes a comprehensive handling of disturbances with different intensities. Experimental results on four data sets show that the proposed model DEWFM (Dual-branch and error correction wind power forecast) demonstrates remarkable performance advantages in comparing with the baseline model and other advanced models, the average values of MAE reaching 1.679, revealing the effectiveness of the proposed method in enhancing the precision of short-term wind power prediction.
