Multi-dimension Evaluation and Investment Route for Next-generation Smart Distribution Network

Abstract

The traditional reliability based distribution network planning always leads to a conservative solution. This paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation system for next-generation smart distribution network from the perspective of four aspects including supply security, supply quality, supply intelligence and supply friendliness. Firstly, we analyze the detailed evaluation index of the comprehensive evaluation system. Then we expound the reliability evaluation method and evaluation process, and uses the normalization criterion (NC) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate and analyze the adaptation ability. Next, according the evaluation results, the distribution network construction route suggestions are given for different types of regions and consumer requirements. On this basis, the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method and reconstruction scheme is verified on a real-world distribution network.
