The invention provides an active maintenance-oriented power equipment health state evaluation method, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, acquiring state quantity index data of any power equipment in a power system, calculating the membership degree of each state quantity index through a fuzzy distribution membership degree function, and constructing a paired comparison matrix. According to the method, the maximum characteristic value and the initial weight of each corresponding index are calculated, consistency verification is performed on the maximum characteristic value and the initial weight, and meanwhile, an objective correction coefficient is introduced to correct the initial weight coefficient, so that the influence of subjective factors in determining the initial weight distribution is eliminated, and the requirements of system operation on the aspects of safety, reliability, economy and the like can be better considered; an equipment health state research basis is provided for researching an active maintenance strategy of power equipment; the power equipment is kept in an excellent health state in the full-life service cycle, and the optimal service performance of the equipment is maintained by using a low-cost and high-efficiency maintenance strategy, so that the safe, reliable and economical operation of a power system is ensured.
