Focusing on the problem that the quantity of equipment in the distribution court is huge and the operation status is difficult to reliably control, a method of equipment health status assessment in the distribution court based on big data analysis in the distribution network of things architecture is proposed. Firstly, based on the internet of things for power distribution, the evaluation system of equipment status in the distribution court is designed to ensure the efficient analysis of massive data through the cooperation of cloud center and edge computing. Then, at the edge of the system, the grey correlation analysis algorithm and the Granger hypothesis method are used to obtain the correlation and causality of the failure rate of equipment components and the influencing factors so as to understand the accurate failure rate of equipment components. Finally, the weight of factors affecting the equipment failure rate is identified by using the dynamic variable weight analytic hierarchy process, and it is corrected in the cloud center; and the overall health degree of the equipment in the distribution court is obtained through transformation. Based on the selected station area model, the proposed method is experimentally demonstrated. The results show that it can accurately obtain the real-time health status of the court equipment and the evaluation accuracy is close to 98%, which provides theoretical support for the operation and maintenance of the distribution network.
