The invention provides a large-scale interconnected power grid spinning reserve risk assessment method based on a state space division method Along with the appearance of a large-scale interconnected power grid, the quantity of elements of a power grid system is sharply increased, and the network scale is further complicated, thus the traditional reserve risk assessment method cannot meet the development requirements of the large-scale interconnected power grid, has the problems of curse of dimensionality in the aspect of state selection and inability of assessment in the aspect of state analysis, and can be influenced by transmission capacity restraint of area connecting lines. In the invention, the system state is selected by using a state space division method and analyzed by using a load reduction technology based on linear programming, thus the method better solves the problems of huge system scale and transmission capacity restraint of the area connecting lines in the spinning reserve risk assessment, realizes the quick and precise calculation of a spinning reserve risk index of the large-scale interconnected power grid, can provide real-time system spinning reserve information for personnel of a dispatching system, is beneficial for the dispatching personnel to taking effective measures in time, improves the reliability level of the system, and reduces the power-off risk of the system.
