Research on Adaptability Evaluation Method of New Communication Technology Applied to Energy Internet Communication Network

Electricity is the major energy form of energy internet and the smart grid is the carrier. Compared with the traditional power grid, it puts forward higher requirements for communication. Introduction of new communication technology will effectively improve the performance of energy internet communication network, but how to evaluate the adaptability of new communication technologies is a key problem to be solved in the process of the development of energy internet communication network. The adaptability to the energy internet communication network should consider the development level of the regional power grid, the economy and other factors, and not only based on the single index, so we proposed an index system considered from four aspects: safety, economy, maturity and effectiveness. In addition, the evaluation method of the adaptability should be objective and reflect the intention and strategy of the evaluation subject. Based on these, an evaluation method of adaptability based on principal component analysis and analytic hierarchy process is proposed which focuses on the process of assessment and implementation plan. An example shows the proposed evaluation method by comparing the adaptability of PTN, POTN and enhanced MSTP. And the result demonstrates that POTN is more suitable for the communication network of energy internet.
