Abstract
In recent years, the significant revolution of shipboard micro-grids (SMs) towards all-electric ships offered several advantages such as high efficiency, better maneuverability, and controllability. However, the application of power electronics onboard SMs, particularly for DC and hybrid ships leads to serious power quality issues. The application of passive power filters (PPFs) has been largely used to solve some of the power quality issues, such as harmonics contamination, power factor compensation, and voltage drop enhancement. However, analyzing some crucial factors such as the harmonic attenuation factor (HAF) and filters sensitivity factor (FSF) of these filters have not been attracted much attention. In this paper, a more in-depth mathematical analysis of the HAF and FSF of these filters is conducted with details. Moreover, some developed solutions to improve these factors are suggested. Based on intensive simulation studies of a practical hybrid ferry, which are carried out under MATLAB/Simulink environment, it has been demonstrated that the conducted analysis and proposed solutions can enhance the filtering performance of the PPFs.
