Abstract: To address output current over-limit issues, power oscillations, and degraded transient stability in virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) under asymmetric faults, this study proposes a variable-weight virtual-impedance-based current balancing control strategy for quasi-Z-source inverter-based VSG (qZSI-VSG) systems. First, a detailed mathematical model of the qZSI-VSG was established to analyze the influence of key parameters on the system’s dynamic behavior. By leveraging the VSG operating characteristics in the dq reference frame, a negative-sequence current reference generation method was subsequently developed to effectively suppress the negative-sequence components under various unbalanced grid conditions. In addition, a proportional integral (PI) controller is introduced to regulate active and reactive power deviations, enabling the online calculation of adaptive weighting factors for the real-time adjustment of the virtual impedance. This mechanism improves both the current balancing performance and transient response. The experimental results verified that the proposed strategy can significantly reduce negative-sequence currents and power oscillations, thereby enhancing the transient stability of the system during asymmetric faults and demonstrating its feasibility and effectiveness.
