Parallel grid-forming energy storage converters based on virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control are prone to active power oscillation and interphase circulating current under load disturbance, unit switching, and parameter mismatch conditions. To address these problems, this paper proposes a dual-layer damping control strategy that combines adaptive virtual damping in the power loop with capacitor current feedback damping in the current loop. First, the small-signal models of the LCL filter, VSG power loop, and parallel converter system are established, and the dominant oscillation modes are analyzed using eigenvalue and participation factor methods. Then, an adaptive damping coefficient is designed according to the active power deviation and frequency dynamic response to suppress low-frequency power oscillation, while a capacitor current feedback branch is introduced to reshape the LCL filter’s resonant poles and attenuate circulating current resonance. Compared with the conventional fixed-damping VSG control, the proposed method reduces active power overshoot and accelerates power redistribution under load step and unit switching conditions. In the traditional control case, the active power peaks of VSG1 and VSG2 reach approximately 30 kW and 40 kW, with an oscillation period of about 1.8 s, whereas the proposed strategy suppresses the oscillatory process and enables the output powers to rapidly reach the preset sharing ratio. In addition, the system frequency can recover to the rated value of 50 Hz without obvious steady-state deviation, and the high-frequency component of the grid-connected current and the interphase circulating current are significantly attenuated. MATLAB/Simulink simulation results verify that the proposed dual-layer damping strategy provides better power oscillation suppression, circulating current mitigation, and frequency dynamic performance than the conventional VSG control.
