Accurate demand forecasting and adaptive load balancing are critical for maintaining stability and efficiency in modern smart power grids. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning (DL) framework, termed Transformer-Generative Adversarial Network-Gated Recurrent Unit (Transformer-GAN-GRU), which integrates global attention-based temporal modeling, generative data augmentation, and sequential refinement into a unified architecture. The proposed framework captures both long- and short-term dependencies while improving representation of imbalanced demand patterns. The model is evaluated on three heterogeneous benchmark datasets, namely Pecan Street, the reliability test system-grid modernization laboratory consortium (RTS-GMLC), and the reference energy disaggregation dataset (REDD). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving a maximum accuracy (Acc) of 99.49%, a recall of 99.67%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 99.83%. In addition to high predictive performance, the framework exhibits strong stability, fast convergence, and low inference latency, confirming its suitability for real-time deployment in smart grid environments.
