With input uncertain variables described as intervals, the power flow output models based on extended affine arithmetic were originally derived. These models are normally expressed by second-order interval response surface model, and thus the total variance of the models can be calculated analytically. Finally, we proposed a novel framework of variance decomposition based global sensitivity analysis method to clarify the components of total variance contributions. The tests on the IEEE14-bus, IEEE300--bus, 2383wp system demonstrate that extended affine arithmetic-based global sensitivity analysis method can acquire maximum relative error of total sensitivity indices is less than 4.55{\%} and max relative error of main sensitivity indices is less than 9.1{\%} when comparing to Monte Carlo simulation method, which is able to greatly improve the evaluation efficiency relative to Monte Carlo simulation method.} }
