Abstract
Transient damping has emerged as a key technique for mitigating active power oscillations in grid-forming virtual synchronous generator (GFVSG) systems, whether operating in grid-connected or parallel configurations. This study first elucidates the operating principles and primary functions of transient damping within GFVSG control, drawing on the electromechanical analogy and an energy reconstruction perspective. Typical transient damping approaches are then classified, followed by the proposal of a systematic parameter design strategy and an evaluation of their dynamic performance. Building on the limitations of existing research, this work contributes by identifying the research prospects, highlighting critical technical challenges, and suggesting structured pathways for further improvement. Finally, the paper provides a comprehensive synthesis intended to deepen understanding of the advantages and limitations of transient damping control in GFVSGs, while offering theoretical insights to support sustained advances in this field.
