Abstract

Exploring the historical path of theories and placement models indicates the deployment in terms of effective criterions and useful approaches in various industries. The distribution of electricity is important because of different reasons and all the efforts are for the sake of decreasing casualties of this network and supplying customer needs. The following research tries to come up with a model for placement the electricity distributer posts and that only happens with the recognition of effective priorities. The following research has used measurement to collect data and samplings were executed with a non-accidental and judgmental method. After asking 11 experts the research detected six criterions and 28 subsets. These criterions are as follows: Technical, Economical, Exploitation, Executive Surveillance and Biological. In the beginning there was a dual comparison between the factors and the effectiveness of these factors was determined by AHP approach. Then with the assessment of all the nominated factors and performing a matrix, some of the Fuzzy TOPSIS were used. In the end the following model was executed by EXCEL and a factor has been determined as the final solution.
