A comprehensive evaluation method for scientifically and rationally planning energy stations is of great significance for the construction and development of new energy systems. Given that existing evaluation methods do not fully integrate energy efficiency

energy quality

and carbon efficiency

and that there are issues with unidirectional indicators in the evaluation index system

this paper first proposes an indicator screening method based on expert trust propagation relationships. Then

considering the basic characteristics of energy stations

a comprehensive evaluation system for energy station planning and operation is established

incorporating energy efficiency

energy quality

carbon efficiency

safety

flexibility

and socio-economic benefits. This paper also introduces a comprehensive evaluation method for energy station planning schemes based on the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation-vlsekriterijumska optimizacija I kompromisno resenje (CRITIC-VIKOR) method. Finally

through case studies

the proposed method is validated as capable of quantifying and assessing the comprehensive benefits of energy station planning and operation

clearly ranking different schemes

and testing the method’s applicability and stability.
