Reliable short-term wind power forecasting is crucial for smart grid stability. However, high-dimensional noise and stochastic fluctuations in wind sequences often degrade the accuracy of traditional forecasting models. Moreover, wind power time series typically exhibit asymmetric rising and decaying patterns, which further complicate accurate modeling. To address these challenges, this study proposes a hybrid intelligent system that integrates three components: data preprocessing, heterogeneous ensemble learning, and probabilistic interval forecasting. First, we build a multi-stage preprocessing workflow. Adaptive DBSCAN and Local Outlier Factor (LOF) remove spatial and density anomalies. Then multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) synchronously separates multi-scale oscillatory patterns while preserving cross-channel correlations and frequency-domain symmetry across input variables. SHAP analysis quantifies feature importance, ensuring interpretability. The selected features are fed into a heterogeneous ensemble model consisting of Transformer, BPNN, ELM, XGBoost, and QRLSTM, which collectively capture multi-scale temporal dependencies and diverse data patterns. The ensemble weights are dynamically optimized by a modified multi-objective dragonfly algorithm (MMODA) that balances forecast accuracy and stability. Based on this ensemble, we apply MMODA to tune kernel density estimation for generating high-quality forecast intervals, maximizing coverage while minimizing interval width. Experiments on two wind farms in Shandong show that our MMODA-optimized ensemble reduces mean absolute percentage error by about 44.7% compared to single models, and ablations confirm that MVMD preprocessing adds a further 10.7% reduction. The proposed system provides an interpretable and reliable decision-support tool for sustainable grid operations.
