The invention relates to a reliability evaluation method of an active power distribution network with a distributed power supply based on a TOPSIS method. The reliability evaluation method comprises astep of giving an initial network structure, a step of carrying out Monte-Carlo simulation hourly and analyzing a network according to a network structure obtained by the Monte-Carlo simulation, a step of judging the number of network cracking, carrying out flow calculation on the network according to the type of a cracked network and then adjusting according to a flow imbalance adjustment strategy, a step of counting and calculating reliability indexes according to the result of the flow calculation, a step of obtaining a specification decision matrix by using a vector normalization method,a step of constructing matrix A of results of the pairwise comparison of the reliability indexes, a step of checking the consistency of the matrix A, a step of obtaining an eigenvector W correspondingto a largest eigenvalue lambda max of the matrix A, wherein W=[omega1, omega2 ... to omega7]T, a step of constructing a weighted normative matrix X={xij}, wherein xij=omegaj*zij, i=1 to m, j=1 to 7,a step of calculating an ideal solution x[j]<*> and a negative ideal solution x[j] <0>, a step of calculating Euclidean distances of each scheme to the ideal solution and the negative ideal solution,and a step of calculating the comprehensive evaluation value of each scheme according to the formula C[i]<*>=d[i]<0>/(d[i]<0>+d[i]<*>), i=1 to m, and setting a quality sequence of the schemes according to the sequence of C[i]<*> from large to small.
