The invention provides a dynamic positioning vessel thruster load limit method based on on-line available power. The method includes computing available power of on-line generator sets in subareas and real-time load power of thrusters by real-time inspection of subarea situations of a distribution board of a dynamic positioning vessel electric propulsion system, then filtering by a digital filter so as to compute a load limit factor of each thruster and a power upper limit value that given thrust of each thruster must satisfy in next control cycle, and finally converting the power upper limit value to a given rotating speed and torque upper limit value of each thruster so as to prevent power failure of the whole vessel caused by overload of the thrusters and the electric propulsion system. Output of a dynamic positioning controller is limited by the aid of the available power of a power station and real-time power of the propulsion system according to optimized load limit coefficient, so that operation safety is improved, power failure of the whole vessel caused by the fact that motors are started untimely due to overload of the thrusters is reduced, and defects of a power station management system are overcome.
