A new approach to the analysis of the transient energy interaction in power systems is presented in this work on the basis of an analogous elastic network. A power system is first rigorously mapped to an elastic network consisting of elastic branches with different elasticity coefficients. On the basis of elasticity mechanics and the analogous elastic network, the transient energy of the different parts, such as the synchronous generators, branches, and loads, is defined and has been proved to agree with the law of energy conservation. Subsequently, based on the law of energy conservation and energy feature analysis, the concept of the power system energy structure (PSES) is built to exhibit the distribution and interaction of transient energy in the power system. Wide area and local area transient energy interaction can be analysed using the measurement‐based energy structure, which shows obvious potential in on‐line monitoring and analysis of power system oscillation. Finally, the simulations of Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) three‐generator test system and a practical power system are performed and analysed to verify the rationality of the analogous elastic network and the validity of the proposed PSES.
