A New Approach for Optimal Location of Power Dispatching Centers Based on Passive Defence Criteria Using EAHP

Authors

Abstract

According to the importance of control and dispatching centers and their critical role in the control and management of the power plants and transmission networks, construction of the dispatching centers based on the security and technical standards is vital for power systems. Existing buildings of dispatching centers are relatively old, and security standards and requirements to deal with the natural disasters and enemy attacks are not met, and also, technical standards for potential development of these centers are not considered. In this paper a method is proposed which be used to develop and reconstruct the existing control centers or new buildings. First, a comprehensive optimal location criterion is required in such a way that it could be able to cover all the scientific, technical and experimental aspects. The most important criteria include passive defence consideration, natural and unnatural disasters, civil, economic, technical performance and welfare of employees. Here in, a method is proposed to find the optimum location of dispatching control centers considering several criteria through a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. The method combines an AHP and entropy techniques (EAHP).
