Construction of Transmission Line Segments Assessment Model Based on Correlation Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process Method

The reliable operation of transmission lines is essential for grid stability. Growing electricity demand pushes existing lines to full capacity, while new construction is constrained by resources and the environment. Dynamic capacity increase technology addresses this by boosting transmission capacity without physical upgrades, with the identification of weak points along the line being central to its application. This study integrates correlation analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process to develop an evaluation method for transmission line segments, with a supporting software implementation also developed. A system of characteristic quantities was first established using operation and maintenance guidelines combined with correlation analysis. The Analytic Hierarchy Process was applied to score features and derive weights after consistency validation. Preprocessed line data were then weighted to calculate segment weakness levels, and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was used for both qualitative and quantitative condition analysis. The model was validated through a case study, and its software implementation streamlines and enhances the assessment process.
