The artificial intelligence calculation method can effectively solve various nonlinear mapping relationships. The strength of these nonlinear solvers is exploited for the evaluation of power grid investment risk using back propagation (BP) neural network optimized by genetic algorithm. The mathematical model of the problem is constructed by selecting the transfer function of the neural network and defining the fitness function of genetic algorithm. BP neural network has good ability of self-learning, self-adaptation and generalization, which can overcome the drawbacks of traditional evaluation methods relying on experts’ experience. For the characteristics of genetic algorithm global optimization, the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the weight and threshold of BP neural network, and BP neural network is trained to obtain the optimal evaluation model. The model fully exploits the local search ability of BP neural network and the global search ability of genetic algorithm. It has obtained good evaluation accuracy for the processing of multi-dimensional influence factor problem. And the model can be adapted to different power grids by changing the training data. However, the method cannot describe the specific relationship between each impact factor and the investment risk of the grid. The case study shows that the method can accurately and effectively evaluate power grid investment risk and improve the fault tolerance of the power grid investment risk evaluation.
