Abstract: A virtual synchronous generator (VSG) has a good adaptability to the weak grid but its grid-connected active power (GCAP) has the problem of a slow dynamic response under the active power command step. An optimization strategy of the GCAP dynamic response for the VSG based on the virtual negative impedance combined with the active power transient damping control algorithm is proposed in this paper. The optimization strategy first uses the virtual negative impedance control method to reduce the VSG equivalent output impedance and the GCAP dynamic response time of the VSG. Then, the transient damping as well as the inhibition ability of the GCAP dynamic oscillation for the VSG are enhanced by the active power transient damping control algorithm. The Matlab/Simulink simulation software is used to study the GCAP dynamic response performances of the VSG in the condition of the active power command step, and the experimental test platform of a VSG grid-connected system is established. The simulation and experimental results jointly verify the feasibility and superiority of the proposed strategy in improving the GCAP dynamic response characteristics of the VSG under a weak grid.
