Abstract

The evaluation of equipment importance is an important part of the operation and maintenance management and its purpose is to identify the key equipment which has important influence on the reliable operation of the power station. On the basis of grey clustering theory, the paper firstly establishes the analysis model of photovoltaic (pv) power station equipment importance and the weights of factors in the target hierarchy is solved by using the judgment matrix in analytic hierarchy process. Secondly, according to the whitenization weight function of the grey clustering, pv equipment is classified into three types: key equipment, vital equipment and general equipment, which lays the foundation for the equipment maintenance strategy choice. Finally, an application example verifies the practicality and scientificity of the proposed method.
