The invention belongs to the field of automation of power grid management and provides a virtual reality display system used for monitoring running of the power grid. On the basis of the middleware technology of the enterprise service bus (ESB) and a hardware topological structure of the distributed network, running parameters of the power grid are acquired, stored and displayed integrally organically, and virtual scenes of running of the power grid can be reproduced in pictures by the virtual reality technology. By means of a layering design from bottom to top, a service layer module, a middle layer module and a display layer module are organically integrated to form a dynamic power grid panorama display system on the basis of the virtual reality, wherein a virtual reality module of a display layer comprises a three-dimensional graph engine module, a three-dimensional primary and secondary equipment virtual assembly module and a plug-and-play container type component running module. The dynamic power grid panorama display system has the advantages of three-dimensional display, real-time interaction and dynamic simulation, is convenient for scheduling operators to observe current running states thereof more visually so as to take running control measures more effectively and more pertinently.
