The minimal data set.

The integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) introduces significant challenges related to uncertainty and intermittency in power grids. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions for Virtual Power Plants (VPP) optimization, existing approaches often treat load forecasting, system dispatch, and demand response as loosely coupled components, limiting their ability to holistically manage these deep uncertainties. To address this, we propose a novel AI-enhanced multi-timescale optimization strategy that creates a synergistic, integrated framework. Methodologically, the approach begins with an attention-augmented Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model that generates high-fidelity spatiotemporal load forecasts, providing crucial spatial-aware inputs often overlooked by traditional models. These enhanced forecasts are then leveraged by a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy for more robust and proactive day-ahead and intraday dispatch. Crucially, the framework integrates a dynamic demand response (DDR) mechanism that is directly coupled with real-time MPC outputs, ensuring that load flexibility is mobilized based on immediate system needs rather than static signals alone. Simulations, driven by real-world operational data, confirm that this integrated strategy not only reduces operational costs and improves forecasting accuracy but also establishes a more resilient and adaptive VPP operational paradigm compared to prior AI-based methods.
