ABSTRACT: When using the ATP-EMTP software to simulate the electromagnetic transient of local line or nearby line for a large area power grid, it is necessary to divide the area grid into internal network and external network so as to make the external network simple for the restriction of the simulation calculation scale of software. Based on the existing equivalence method, in this paper we proposed a practical equivalent method using the short-circuit calculation program of PSASP. In this way, we completed the equivalence of northwest power grid operating at the large mode of summer 2016. By comparing the power flow and the characteristics of short-circuit in the system before and after the equivalence, this equivalent method is proved to be correct.
