Abstract

With the rapid development of renewable energy, improving forecasting quality has become increasingly important. However, in distribution system operation, the ultimate goal is not prediction accuracy, but cost-effective day-ahead dispatch under wind-solar uncertainty. Decision-Focused Learning (DFL) enhances the decision quality of wind-solar joint forecasting by deeply integrating prediction with optimization. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes GPT-DFL, a two-stage decision-focused learning framework that synergistically integrates a GPT-based forecasting backbone with an Input Convex Neural Network(ICNN)-based decision-aware refinement module. In the first stage, the forecasting-focused method is used to fine-tune GPT, enabling more accurate modeling and prediction of wind and solar power generation. In the second stage, decision-focused fine-tuning is performed using the bias-correlation layer. Decision-Focused Learning is formulated as a constrained optimization problem that maintains the proximity of the decision-enhanced model to the original predictive model within a predefined trust region. The proposed framework is validated on the IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 141-bus systems. The results show cost reductions of 2.36% and 2.42% compared with the best-performing baseline, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.
