At present, China's offshore photovoltaic (PV) industry is developing rapidly. Risk assessment on offshore PV power generation (OPVPG) projects is important. The existing risk assessment methods in OPVPG projects in China are insufficient in dealing with different types of uncertainties. In this paper, we propose a computational model based on D Numbers and analytic network process (ANP) method to handle risk assessment on OPVPG projects. Firstly, factors that influencing offshore photovoltaic power generation projects in China are identified and the weights of the factors are determined by domain analyst using ANP. Secondly, risk evaluation judgment on each factor is given by expert referring to predefined anchors and linguistic labels under specific situations. Thirdly, the judgments are represented as D numbers and are integrated into a fused D number. Finally, the overall risk level of OPVPG in China is obtained based on the fused D number. The main contribution of the proposed method based on D numbers is to deal with uncertainties and the degree of confidence in experts judgments. Uncertainty includes situations like: do not know how to assign accurate beliefs to risk levels and incomplete frame of discernment. The degree of confidence shows the cognition of the experts. The situation that the confidence of expert is equal to 1 shows the certainty of experts. When the confidence of expert is equal to 0, it means that experts cannot decide the risk levels. It can be considered as a new strategy for risk assessment and enriches the framework of decision-making. Several case studies are illustrated to show the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method.
