ABSTRACT=<p>Aiming at the shortcomings of the analytic hierarchy process in the comprehensive evaluation of wind power system operation status with strong subjectivity in determining weights, this thesis proposes an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and constructs an analytic hierarchy process combined with a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO + AHP) model to optimize the weights. It overcomes the disadvantage that once given the judgment matrix in the AHP method, the weight values and consistency cannot be improved. In this article, the comparison chart of the consistency indexes calculated according to this method shows that the one-time indexes of <inline-formula id="inf1"><mml:math id="m1" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>C</mml:mi><mml:mi>a</mml:mi></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> as well as <inline-formula id="inf2"><mml:math id="m2" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi>C</mml:mi><mml:mn>1</mml:mn></mml:msub><mml:mo>−</mml:mo><mml:msub><mml:mi>C</mml:mi><mml:mn>7</mml:mn></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> are reduced to different degrees, so a weight value with a relatively high degree of consistency can be obtained by this method. Second, for the situation that there are several judgment indexes in the sub-project layer that deviate seriously at the same time, introduce the degradation index, and apply the fuzzy comprehensive judgment method to establish the model of wind power system operation status assessment. Finally, based on the actual monitoring data of a wind farm over a period of time, its operational status was evaluated using the proposed PSO-AHP model based on FCE, and a score that can indicate the operational status can be obtained by calculation. In this article, the evaluation score of a wind farm is 0.556, indicating that the staff needs to carry out maintenance at this time. The comparative analysis shows that compared to the traditional AHP-FCE evaluation method, the assessment results proposed in this article are relatively good and have practical value and significance for improving the real-time reliability of grid-connected operation of wind turbines, optimizing the maintenance strategy of wind turbines, and reducing the cost of wind power generation.</p>
