The invention belongs to the technical field of power control systems for engineering machinery, and discloses a quick response power system for the engineering machinery. The quick response power system comprises an executing mechanism and a power quick response unit; the executing mechanism is composed of an oil cylinder, a work hydraulic pump, three three-position four-way reversing valves and three hydraulic cylinders; the power quick response unit is composed of an energy accumulator, a first solenoid reversing valve, a safety valve, a second solenoid reversing valve, an oil cylinder, a one-way valve, a power hydraulic pump, an electromotor, a motor frequency converter, a control unit and a pressure sensor. According to the invention, the rotation speed of the hydraulic pumps can be timely, quickly and efficiently regulated according to the specific change conditions of the pressure of hydraulic components, the energy utilization rate can be increased, and the rated power provided by a hydraulic machinery power system, namely the rated power of the electromotor can be lowered.
