The invention discloses a commutation failure judging and 
simulation method for a 
direct current transmission system based on an electromechanical 
transient state. The commutation failure judging method comprises the steps: establishing an alternative current-
direct current electrical power 
system electromechanical transient 
simulation model of 
direct current transmission, calculating alternative current three-phase / single-phase short-circuit fault happening in a certain point of an alternating 
system, comparing and analyzing changes of 
bus three-phase 
voltage effective value on a failure instant high-
voltage direct current inversion side to judge whether commutation occurs in the direct current 
system or not, and conducting commutation judgment to each point of the 
alternating current system, and calculating and confirming an 
alternating current fault area. The 
simulation method comprises the step of simulating direct current commutation failure by artificially modifying direct-current power according to the judging results of the direct current commutation failure. According to the commutation failure judging and simulation method for the direct current 
transmission system based on the electromechanical 
transient state, an electromechanical transient simulation program in which an 
electric power system takes the leading application part is adopted, the commutation failure judging and simulation method has strong adaptability and practical applicability and is simple and useful and conserved in the aspect of 
computational analysis of the interaction effect between the direct current and 
alternating current, meanwhile the simulation method is effective and feasible, and fulfills 
engineering application requirements effectively.
