The invention belongs to the electric energy quality analysis field, especially an electric power system current quality assessment method. The method comprises: firstly, performing Fourier decomposition on the voltage and current detected at a PCC, and dividing a voltage subset and a current subset obtained after decomposition into a harmonic portion and an interharmonic portion; secondly, for the harmonic portion, based on the harmonic wave power direction of each frequency, calculating harmonic voltages and harmonic current to obtain a current component under each frequency, and decomposing active current, diffusion current, reactive current, unbalanced current, zero sequence current and generation current; and finally, calculating each current component to obtain required current quality assessment indicators, i.e., a rate of equipment utilization, system operation efficiency, reactive current, zero sequence current, unbalanced current, reactive current fluctuation quantity and frequentness, generation current, diffusion current and interharmonic current. The assessment indicators are corresponding with real current quality phenomena one by one; an assessment system has clear concepts, and can effectively assess current quality in real engineering.
