Comprehensive evaluation model of distribution network planning based on ANP

Comprehensive evaluation of distribute network planning is a multi-factors decision-making problem in complicated system.Combining with the factors of distribute network planning, a new method of distribute network planning named analytic network process(ANP) was proposed.Considering the analysis of dependence among each index, a comprehensive evaluation model of distribute network planning was constructed using the theory.It overcomes the shortages of traditional analytic hierarchy process, which requires to the independence of each index, and gains more reasonable actual index weight through super matrix calculating.To demonstrate the proposed method a worked example was performed on a test evaluation of distribution network planning.The result confirms the feasibility and rationality of ANP to the distribution planning evaluation problem.
