The high accuracy of short-term power load forecasting has a pivotal role in helping power companies to construct reasonable production scheduling plans and avoid resource waste. In this paper, a multi-model short-term power load prediction method based on Variational mode decomposition (VMD)-improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA)-wavelet temporal convolutional network (WTCN)-bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU)-attention and CatBoost model fusion is proposed. First, VMD was employed to decompose the load data into different intrinsic mode functions. Second, a WTCN was utilized to extract the load data features, and multi-dimensional feature factors were integrated into the BiGRU network for model training. Moreover, an attention mechanism was added to enhance the influence degree of important information. The WTCN-BiGRU-attention model is improved by the WOA algorithm to optimize the hyperparameters of the network. Finally, the model was fused with the predicted data of the CatBoost network by the mean absolute percentage error-reciprocal weight (MAPE-RW) algorithm to construct the best fusion model. Compared with other forecasting models, the proposed multi-model fusion method has higher accuracy in short-term power load forecasting using the public data set for an Australian region.
