Abstract

To address the limitations of multi-modal fusion in photovoltaic power prediction—specifically the challenges posed by modality heterogeneity in data representation and insufficient cross-modal correlation modeling—this study proposes a multi-modal meteorological data fusion model (MMDF) . The model first applies Finite Scalar Quantization (FSQ) to achieve unified representation of heterogeneous data sources, effectively overcoming the bottleneck of cross-modal information alignment and reducing computational complexity during fusion. Then, a hybrid encoding feature extraction module is designed by integrating the global spatial modeling capability of the Vision Transformer with the temporal dynamics capture of the GRU-Linear architecture, which significantly enhances the discriminability of multi-modal features. Furthermore, a staged cross-modal fusion strategy is constructed based on a gated dynamic fusion mechanism, and the Cross Transformer is employed to deeply integrate time-series and cloud image features, thereby capturing complex inter-modal relationships. Experimental results show that, compared with the FusionSF algorithm, the proposed MMDF model improves MAE, RMSE, and R² by 5.69%, 12.44%, and 4.52%, respectively, on a multi-modal solar power dataset, providing both a theoretical breakthrough and a new paradigm for engineering applications in photovoltaic power prediction under complex weather conditions.
