description To mitigate the challenges posed by transient oscillations and steady-state deviations in the traditional virtual synchronous generator (TVSG) that is subjected to active power and grid frequency disturbances, a VSG control strategy based on Transient Damping Compensation and Virtual Inertia Adaptation is presented. Initially, a closed-loop small-signal model for the grid-connected active power loop (APL) of the TVSG is constructed, which highlights the contradiction between the dynamic and static characteristics of TVSG output power through the analysis of root locus distribution trends. Secondly, a VSG control strategy based on Transient Damping Compensation (TDC) is proposed. The influence of APL system parameters introduced by TDC on system stability is qualitatively analyzed based on pole distribution trends and frequency response, and a comprehensive parameter design scheme is presented. In addition, based on the TDC algorithm, an improved virtual inertia adaptive strategy utilizing the Inverse Square Root Unit (ISRU) approach is designed, and the tuning range of parameters is provided. Finally, simulations and experiments verify that the proposed strategy exhibits superior active response performance and transient oscillation suppression capabilities, effectively eliminating active steady-state deviations caused by frequency disturbances in the power grid.
