The present invention provides a power
system emergency
reserve capacity configuration method. The method comprises: a
system secondary
frequency modulation reserve R2 is determined according to a
cost effectiveness method; the
system secondary
frequency modulation reserve R2 is taken as a basis, and the maximum
steady state frequency fluctuation [
Delta]fw,0 of a system after the occurrence of an extra high-
voltage direct current bipolar locking fault is simulated and determined; if the [
Delta]fw,0 is larger than an allowable limit, a generation side and a load side are taken as reserved sources, a lowest cost is the standard, and an added primary
frequency modulation reserve [
Delta]R1,w is determined, or else, the [Delta]R1,w is equal to zero; the R2 and the [Delta]R1,w are taken as a basis, the maximum frequency fluctuation [Delta]fh,0 of the system after the occurrence of an extra high-
voltage direct current bipolar locking fault is simulated and determined; if the [Delta]fh,0 is larger than an allowable limit, the generation side and the load side are taken as reserved sources, the lowest cost is the standard, and an added
inertia response reserve [Delta]R1,h is determined, or else, the [Delta]R1,h is equal to zero; and finally, an optimum emergency
reserve capacity R in an electrical area in the whole process of frequency fluctuation after a large-scale
direct current locking fault is determined. The power system emergency
reserve capacity configuration method is able to improve the
transient state safety level of a system after the occurrence of faults so as to comprehensively guarantee the safety of the system after the occurrence of faults.
