Improvement- orienting conclusions should have scientific bases with the quantitative indicators for economic and technical comparisons. This article introduces the research methodology for development orientation of MVN. This methodology aims at ensuring the overall economy by studying typical areas suitable for calculation, then based on the results to expand into general improvement and development orientation for the studied region. The study results show that the LRMC (Long Run Marginal Cost) can be used as a general economic indicator to calculate and compare development plan options for power networks with typical structures. From the calculation results for typical areas, the development orientation for MVN of the Northern Vietnam can be proposed for the coming period.
