Abstract

The selection of future communication solutions for electrical distribution substations to satisfy future requirements, such as bidirectional communication, stringent data rate and bandwidth limitations while adhering to economic constraints, is a complicated and multi-faceted problem. Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) has been widely implemented in various fields to address problems involving both qualitative and quantitative criteria systematically and reliably. In this paper, the MCDM approach known as the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is adopted for the selection of communication technology solutions for electrical distribution substations in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Seven communication technologies, inclusive of both wired and wireless technologies, were evaluated in terms of their techno-economic performance. Three technical-to-economic ratio weightages were investigated, which were 70:30, 90:10, and 50:50. Finally, the technologies were ranked based on the MCDM TOPSIS method and the optimum communication solutions were obtained for each weight. The result shows that wired technologies outperform wireless technologies due to their superior technical score, despite their relatively low economic performance, especially if the technical criterion is given more weightage.

基于TOPSIS方法的多准则决策:在配电变电站未来通信方案选择中的应用

如何选择未来的配电变电站通信解决方案，以满足未来的要求，如双向通信，严格的数据速率和带宽限制，同时坚持经济约束，是一个复杂而多方面的问题。多准则决策(Multi-criteria Decision Making, MCDM)已广泛应用于各个领域，以系统、可靠地解决涉及定性和定量标准的问题。本文采用MCDM方法，即TOPSIS (Order Preference Technique of Similarity to Ideal Solution)方法，对城市、郊区和农村配电变电站的通信技术方案进行选择。对包括有线和无线技术在内的七种通信技术的技术经济绩效进行了评估。研究了三种技术经济比权重，分别为70:30、90:10和50:50。最后，基于MCDM TOPSIS方法对各技术进行排序，得到各权重下的最优通信解决方案。结果表明，尽管有线技术的经济性能相对较低，但有线技术由于其优越的技术得分而优于无线技术，特别是在技术标准被赋予更多权重的情况下。
