The invention discloses a method for evaluating resilience of an electric power system under a disaster, comprising the following steps: 1) determining a type of the disaster and occurrence property;2) obtaining types of easily damaged elements under the disaster and related fault probabilities; 3) acquiring a running state of easily damaged equipment in a disaster environment by utilizing Monte-Carlo simulation; 4) carrying out system minimum load shedding calculation based on direct current optimal power flow; and 5) carrying out index calculation and system resistivity analysis. An expected running state and strong degree of the electric power system under various natural disasters and a man-made disaster can be rapidly calculated by utilizing the method disclosed by the invention, a calculating process gives consideration to types and characteristics of the disasters at the same time, and resilience enhancement limiting factors of the system under the disaster can be analyzed, sothat the method disclosed by the invention can be used for providing a reference and a suggestion for disaster prevention planning and construction of the electric power system.
