With the transformation of the modern power system, the application of grid-connected inverters is increasing, and the transient synchronization stability of inverters after disturbance is becoming prominent. Previous research on transient synchronization stability mainly focuses on the dynamic of the phase-locked loop, with less consideration of the impact of outer loop control, resulting in a cognitive bottleneck in understanding transient synchronization mechanism. To address these issues, the grid-following voltage source inverter system was modelled, taking into account the inverter control strategy and limiting elements in detail. Subsequently, the impact of different voltage drops on the stability region of the equilibrium point was analyzed, and the effects of outer loop control proportional integral (PI) and limiting elements on transient synchronization were discussed. The influence mechanism of outer loop control on the transient synchronization stability of inverters was revealed systematically. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed theory was verified in PSCAD/EMTDC.
