   Aiming at the current limit value of six steady-state energy indexes, the current radar method is used for reference. A method of comprehensive evaluation of power quality based on improved radar method is proposed, which improves the power quality index Type radar pattern to represent the steady-state indicator. Each of the main indicators corresponds to a partial ring, and the angle of the annular portion is mainly affected by the size of the weight. Compared with the previous radar map method to maintain the independence of the indicators and a single indicator of the binding data assessment. The method has the advantages of good feasibility.

Introduction</title><p>Electricity as a commonly used energy, not only economical and easy to control and conversion. The application of energy has become an important indicator of the level of national development. In recent years, with the continuous development of industrialization and national economic level, the whole society is more and more practical to the power, the power quality requirements are gradually improved, the quality of power quality is directly related to the entire power market economic benefits. With the adjustment of energy structure and the rapid development of national economy, long-distance DC transmission and large power grid interconnection to the fundamental changes in the structure of the grid, the resulting AC and DC hybrid operation of the power system and the increasingly variable power grid negative characteristics , As well as the non-li- near load and time-varying load in the power grid, brought about such problems as harmonics, voltage fluctuation and flicker, three-phase imbalance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref2">2</xref>], which deteriorated the power quality index of the grid. Therefore, it is important to develop a suitable power quality assessment method to evaluate the power quality index synthetically and to improve the power quality to optimize the electricity market.</p><p>China has proposed nine national standards for power quality to analyze the power quality problem, which is divided into six steady-state indicators and three transient indicators, because the transient index is not clear data limits are not easy to assess, so the current power quality, the comprehensive evaluation mainly starts from the steady state index. This paper combines the contents of national standard of power quality in China [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref5">5</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref6">6</xref>], and selects 6 of them as steady-state power quality indicators, which are the allowable deviation of supply voltage, voltage fluctuation, voltage flicker, harmonic distortion rate, three-phase voltage Balance, power system frequency tolerance.</p><p>The existing methods of comprehensive evaluation of power quality mainly include three categories [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref8">8</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.75340-ref9">9</xref>] based on fuzzy mathematics theory, probability statistics theory and intelligent algorithm. These methods solve the problem of comprehensive evaluation to a certain extent, but the traditional mathematical algorithm is The evaluation of power quality indicators can only stay in the written text, and the radar chart method as the representative of the graphics analysis can be more clearly to show the specific indicators of the specific situation, this paper refers to the radar map in the assessment of indicators Simple and clear, clear the characteristics of the combination of fuzzy membership function to carry out the power quality indicators, so that it can more objectively show the advantages and disadvantages of the indicators.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Excellent indicators in the evaluation of power quality indicators cannot play a corresponding role, and will require the need for composite single index number too much, causing interference to the calculation, should be excluded. Such as odd harmonic voltage from the third harmonic to twenty-fifth harmonic, a total of more than a dozen indicators, if all are evaluated, the index is too large and meaningless, so from the odd harmonic, And for the rest of the indicators, the normalized indicator with a target value less than 0.1 should be excluded and the remaining indicators should be retained.</p><p>It should be noted that short-term flicker indicators should not be part of a comprehensive indicator.

Conclusion</title><p>In this paper, the entropy weight method is used to effectively restrict the excessive weight. Appropriate indicators are selected by means of the normalization of individual indicators to ensure the accuracy of the assessment results. Combined with the radar method to deal with the comprehensive index, and then fuzzy evaluation method for classification, effectively combined with the advantages of the two methods, by comparing the results of the traditional algorithms to prove that the evaluation of this method has been greatly improved, The assessment method is reasonable and feasible.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>The work was supported by Science Project of State Grid Corporation of China (520940150010).</p></sec><sec id="s8"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>Pan, A.Q., Zhou, J., Zhang, P., Liu, R.H. and Wang, Y.C.
