The invention belongs to the technical field of power distribution network system comprehensive automation, and relates to a load transfer method and device for an intelligent power distribution network. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring prediction data of a power distribution network system at a future moment; determining the operation topology of the power distribution networksystem at the current moment; obtaining abnormal topology nodes of the power distribution network system at the future moment according to the equipment operation state at the future moment and the operation topology at the current moment; re-determining a plurality of operation topologies of the power distribution network system according to the abnormal topology nodes of the power distribution network system at the future moment, and generating corresponding load transfer strategies; and calculating the evaluation index of each load transfer strategy according to the load capacity of the equipment of the power distribution network system at the future moment, and taking the load transfer strategy with the optimal evaluation index as the load transfer strategy of the power distribution network system. Whether the power distribution network system needs load transfer or not can be judged in advance, load transfer can be conducted in advance before an abnormality occurs to the equipment, and active operation and maintenance are achieved.
