With the widespread integration of distributed power systems and renewable energy, power quality disturbance (PQD) problems are becoming increasingly serious. Most existing PQD classification methods rely on the extraction of single time-domain or frequency-domain features, lacking effective cross-domain information fusion, and their classification accuracy significantly decreases under noise interference. To address this issue, this paper proposes a power quality disturbance classification model (MCA-KAN) based on a multi-channel attention mechanism and a KAN network. This model employs parallel time-domain and frequency-domain feature extraction structures, utilizing 1D-CNN and BiLSTM to capture time- and frequency-domain features respectively, and introducing a cross-attention mechanism to achieve adaptive fusion of time-domain and frequency-domain features. Furthermore, the model uses a KANLinear layer for nonlinear mapping to enhance its classification ability and robustness in high-noise environments. To verify the model's robustness, this paper constructs a noisy dataset under three signal-to-noise ratios (SNR=20dB, 30dB, 50dB) and conducts comparative experiments. The results show that the proposed MCA-KAN achieves an accuracy of 97.82% at an SNR of 20dB, and maintains stable recognition performance at higher SNRs. Compared with existing methods, the proposed network outperforms existing methods in terms of classification accuracy and robustness.
