Abstract: Under the demand of high-proportion renewable energy grid integration and weak power grid support, the modular multilevel converter(MMC) based on virtual synchronous generator(VSG) exhibits a large peak value of AC-side impedance resonance due to fixed control parameters and insufficient parameter coordinated regulation. This easily triggers system oscillation, restricting the grid-connected stability and dynamic support performance. To address the above issues, this paper constructs a discrete state-space model of VSG based on model predictive control, and proposes a multi-objective optimization control method for grid-side MMC of offshore wind turbines that balances active power tracking speed, virtual speed response, and overshoot suppression. A Pareto weight allocation mechanism is introduced, and the adaptive reshaping of the amplitude-phase characteristics of MMC equivalent output impedance at the grid connection point is realized through online coordinated predictive optimization of VSG inertia J, damping D, and reactive loop integral coefficient Kq. Meanwhile, impedance frequency sweep analysis of VSG-MMC is carried out to extract positive-sequence impedance and complete frequency-domain comparison, so as to quantitatively evaluate the change of impedance robustness before and after the proposed method. Simulation results show that compared with the fixed-parameter control method, the proposed method significantly suppresses resonant impedance in key frequency bands, improves anti-disturbance capability and stability margin, and achieves the coordinated improvement of dynamic response and small-disturbance impedance stability. It provides theoretical support for the stable control of grid-forming wind turbines connected to MMC.
