Abstract:wer - frequency overvoltage is a major threat to the isolated power grid of remote mountainous areas in Tibetan area of Sichuan province. Firstly,a novel N - 1 check principle for isolated power grid in remote mountainous areas is proposed. Furthermore,the mechanism of power - frequency overvoltage in isolated power grid is analyzed based on steady - state Q - V model and electromechanical transient model with consideration of low excitation limit. Finally,the countermeasures to reduce the damage of power - frequency overvoltage are presented. This research is helpful for promoting the security level of the isolated power grid in remote mountainous areas.
