High-precision short-term photovoltaic (PV) power prediction has become a critical technology in ensuring grid accommodation capacity, optimizing dispatching decisions, and enhancing plant economic benefits. This paper proposes a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based short-term PV power prediction method with the genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized adaptive fusion of space-based cloud imagery and ground-based meteorological data. The effective integration of satellite cloud imagery is conducted in the PV power prediction system, and the proposed method addresses the issues of low accuracy, poor robustness, and inadequate adaptation to complex weather associated with using a single type of meteorological data for PV power prediction. The multi-source heterogeneous data are preprocessed through outlier detection and missing value imputation. Spearman correlation analysis is employed to identify meteorological attributes highly correlated with PV power output. A dedicated dataset compatible with LSTM algorithm-based prediction models is constructed. An LSTM prediction model with a GA algorithm-based adaptive multi-source heterogeneous data fusion method is proposed, and the ability to construct a precise short-term PV power prediction model is demonstrated. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms single-source LSTM, single-source CNN-LSTM, and dual-source CNN-Transformer models in prediction accuracy, achieving an RMSE of 0.807 kWh and an MAPE of 6.74% on a critical test day. The proposed method enables real-time precision forecasting for grid dispatch centers and lightweight edge deployment at PV plants, enhancing renewable energy integration while effectively mitigating grid instability from power fluctuations.

A vulnerability surface modeling method based on dual intensity metrics is proposed to assess the impact of typhoons and heavy rainfall disasters on the distribution pole-tower conductor system. A three-dimensional finite-element model is developed for a typical “three-pole four-conductor” distribution line, considering the uncertainties in both load-side and structural-side parameters. A spatially coherent turbulent wind field is generated using the Davenport spectrum and harmonic superposition method, while an equivalent rain load is derived based on raindrop spectrum integration. Nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis is then conducted under multiple combinations of basic wind speeds and rainfall intensities, extracting engineering demand parameters such as conductor axial tension and pole-base bending moments. Based on probabilistic demand analysis, the relationship between engineering demand parameters and dual intensity measures is regressed in the logarithmic domain to construct bivariate fragility surfaces for both the conductors and the poles. Critical failure curves are obtained by intersecting the fragility surfaces with the 10% exceedance probability level, enabling rapid classification of structural risk under the joint effects of wind and rain. The results show that the regression model provides a high fit, effectively revealing that wind speed is the dominant control factor, while rainfall intensity serves as a secondary amplifying factor. The resulting critical failure curves can be directly used as operation and maintenance warning thresholds and can be coupled with observed and forecast meteorological data for time-varying risk assessment. These findings provide methodological support and engineering guidance for risk assessment, operation and maintenance decision-making, and resilience enhancement of distribution networks under multi-hazard coupling.
