Photovoltaic (PV)-storage systems operating in weak grids are affected by high grid impedance, transient voltage disturbances, and measurement noise, which can degrade frequency regulation, increase converter current stress, and impose high-frequency current fluctuations on the battery. To address these issues, this paper proposes a multi-timescale transient-state sensing and signal-processing framework for grid-forming PV-hybrid storage systems. The proposed framework combines three coordinated functions. First, a frequency-domain HESS power-decoupling mechanism separates high-frequency transient power components and assigns them to the supercapacitor, while the battery mainly handles low-frequency energy variations. Second, a voltage-deviation-driven adaptive virtual inductance is introduced to increase the equivalent output impedance during voltage-sag events and reduce transient inrush current. Third, a noise-resilient frequency sensing strategy based on a filtered frequency derivative and a dead-band for false-trigger suppression is developed to reduce noise-induced false triggering in adaptive inertia and damping control. Comparative simulations indicate that under the tested weak-grid conditions, the proposed method reduces the transient inrush-current peak by 53.2%, decreases the maximum dynamic frequency deviation by approximately 75%, and improves the active-power regulation speed by more than 50%. These results indicate that the proposed sensing-oriented framework can improve transient response while reducing converter and battery current stress in PV-storage systems connected to high-impedance grids.
