Abstract

This paper presented a green quality evaluation method for power cable. It analyzed the carbon emissions during the cable production process, and a green indicator system has been established according to the quality testing standards of China State Grid. Focusing on production energy consumption, quality inspection results, and raw material carbon costs, it developed a "goal-criterion-indicator" framework to construct a low-carbon evaluation system. Specifically, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized to determine the weights of production energy consumption and emission indicators, whereas the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method was employed to calculate the weights of quality and criterion-layer indicators, thereby a comprehensive green evaluation model has been formed.
