Abstract: Objectives With the continuous development of China’s new power system, there is a growing integration of new energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power into the grid. However, this integration has also led to an increase in intelligent control equipment and nonlinear loads, resulting in more complex power quality issues. In order to enhance the power supply quality of the entire power grid and achieve economic operation and efficient development, it is crucial to conduct a scientific and rational quantitative evaluation of power quality. Methods Starting from three aspects of power quality evaluation indicators, weighting methods and evaluation models, the comprehensive power quality evaluation methods were systematically summarized and compared, and the research status of comprehensive power quality evaluation methods was summarized. On this basis, the shortcomings and problems that need to be solved of various existing comprehensive power quality assessment methods were summarized, and the possible research directions in this field were prospected. Conclusions Although many results have been achieved in the research on comprehensive evaluation of power quality at home and abroad, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, there are still a series of important neglected problems that need to be solved in this field.
