This paper solves the problem of reactive power and harmonics compensation in a high-voltage (HV) distribution network supplying nonlinear loads. An inductive filtering (IF) approach where passive filters connect to the filtering winding of a four-winding inductive filtering transformer (FW-IFT) is presented to enhance the power quality of the public grid. This method can not only greatly suppress harmonic currents of the medium and/or low-voltage (LV) side, but also prevent them from flowing into the public grid. The new main circuit topology, where the FW-IFT has specific filtering winding by adopting the ampere-turn balance of the transformer, is presented. On the basis of the structure of the FW-IFT, the magnetic potential balanced equation and inductive filtering technology, its equivalent circuit and mathematical model are established, and the filtering performances are analyzed in detail. Simulation and experimental results rated at SN-10/0.38 of the FW-IFT are presented to prove the efficacy of the comprehensive enhancement of power quality on the grid side.

In view of the existing complex analytic calculations of DFIG short-circuit current are hardly applied in engineering projects, a practical calculation of asymmetric short-circuit current of DFIG is proposed. According to the complex sequence and their Thevenin equivalent model of DFIG network, the composition of each sequence component of DFIG short-circuit current is analysed. Moreover, considering the low-voltage ride through strategy of DFIG, the negative sequence periodic components of short circuit current are well analysed during the crowbar activation and deactivation, and the formula of the negative sequence periodic components of short circuit current are derived. On the basis of positive and negative sequence open circuit voltage, calculating impedance and rotor current, the judgement of crowbar activation is established. The pre-calculated surfaces of negative sequence periodic components of short circuit current are proposed, and the procedure for calculating the asymmetric short-circuit current of DFIG is designed. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation.
