An electric power communication network survivability evaluating method comprises the following steps: a, parts of an electric power communication network are abstracted as nodes, and physical links are abstracted as edges; b, network efficiency in an original state is calculated; c, each node and each edge are deleted in order, and network efficiency of a newly generated graph is calculated; d, fault influence degrees of each node and each edge are calculated; e, a whole-network survivability degree is calculated; and f, evaluation is carried out on the survivability of the electric power communication network through utilizing the whole-network survivability degree. According to the electric power communication network survivability evaluating method of the invention, the importance degree of each part in the electric power communication system for network performance is taken into consideration, and at the same time, effects of the links in the network are taken into consideration, so that a whole destroy process of the electric power communication system can be reflected. The method eliminates one-sidedness of existing evaluating methods. According to the method of the invention, the evaluated results are more objective and reasonable. At the beginning of an electric power communication network topological structure design process, the method is utilized to carry out quantitative analysis on the survivability of the network, and accordingly a design scheme of the network can be optimized and the survivability degree of the network is raised.
