The automation transformation project for distribution networks plays a vital role in enhancing grid operational efficiency and ensuring system safety. Traditional scheduling approaches often focus on single objectives, making it difficult to balance progress with safety requirements. This paper proposes a dual-objective optimization method that integrates schedule constraints and risk control during implementation. By constructing a mathematical model and applying multi-objective optimization algorithms, the approach achieves coordinated equilibrium between construction timelines and safety standards. This methodology effectively reduces potential risks during construction phases while ensuring orderly advancement of the entire transformation project, providing a viable technical roadmap and decision-making basis for modernizing distribution networks.
