The invention relates to an economic efficiency and safety coordinating power transmission network planning platform and application. The platform comprises a database module (1), an input module (2), an analysis module (3), a planning module (4), and an output module (5), wherein the database module (1), the input module (2), the analysis module (3), the planning module (4) and the output module (5) are sequentially connected; the input module (2) stores a safety index of a power transmission network, obtains the load data of the power transmission network, the data of power generation equipment and the data of power transmission equipment from the database module (1), and transmits the index and the data to the analysis module (3); the analysis module (3) calculates the investment cost, maintenance cost, operation cost and power shortage cost of the power transmission network, and transmits the cost to the planning module (4); the planning module carries out the extended planning analysis of the economic efficiency and safety coordination of the power transmission network through employing an improved ecological niche genetic algorithm; and the output module (5) outputs the information of planning results. Compared with the prior art, the platform enables the power transmission network to be low in comprehensive cost and to be high in economic benefit.
