In recent years, the development of microgrid and power electronics technology provides a new application environment and platform for pulsed power load, and the application of pulsed power load in on-board microgrid and ship power system is becoming more and more common. However, these pulse loads pose great challenges to the stable and safe operation of microgrid due to their unique operating characteristics. Based on this, the influence of pulse power load on the stability of microgrid is focused, the research content at home and abroad are summarized, including electronic radar, electromagnetic emission and recycling equipment, pulse weapons, such as pulse power load type, periodic disturbance, strong nonlinearity, the bus voltage and frequency instability mechanism, such as the influence of the stability analysis, the energy storage system, such as virtual synchronization technology strategy. Finally, the future research direction of microgrid stability under pulse power load is analyzed, and the future research is prospected based on the existing problems.
