This paper studies the harmonic characteristics of ship electric propulsion systems and their treatment methods. It also adopts effective measures to suppress and prevent ship power systems from affecting ship operation due to the serious damage caused by harmonics. Firstly, the harmonic characteristics of a ship electric propulsion system are reviewed and discussed. Secondly, aiming at problems such as resonant frequency and filter characteristics variations, resonance point migration, and unstable filtering performances in conventional passive filters, a method for fully tuning of a passive dynamic tunable filter (PDTF) is proposed to realize harmonic suppression. Thirdly, to address the problems of the uncontrollable inductance L of traditional air gap iron core reactors and the harmonics of power electronic impedance converters (PEICs), this paper proposes an electromagnetic coupling reactor with impedance transformation and harmonic suppression characteristics (ECRITHS), with the internal filter (IF) designed to suppress the harmonics generated by PEICs. The ECRITHS is characterized by both harmonic suppression and impedance change. Fourthly, the ECRITHS is investigated. This investigation includes the harmonic suppression characteristics and impedance transformation characteristics of the ECRITHS at the fundamental frequency, which shows the good performance of the ECRITHS. Simulation and experimental evaluations of the PDTF are carried out. Multiple PDTFs can be configured to realize multi-order simultaneous dynamic filtering, and can effectively eliminate the current harmonics of ship electric propulsion systems. This is done to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the supply currents to well below the 5% limit imposed by the IEEE-519 standard. The PDTF also can eliminate harmonic currents in different geographic places by using a low voltage distribution system. Finally, a detailed discussion is presented, with challenges and future implications discussed. The research results are intended to effectively eliminate the harmonics of ship electric power propulsion systems and to improve the power quality of ship power systems. This is of theoretical and practical significance for improving the power quality and power savings of ship power systems.

A new kind of resonant impedance type hybrid active filter (RITHAF) is proposed for dynamic harmonic current suppression and high capacity reactive compensation in medium and high voltage systems. This paper analyzed the different performance of the RITHAF when the active part of the RITHAF is controlled as a current source and as a voltage source, respectively. The harmonic suppression function is defined in this paper. The influences of the changes caused by the grid impedance and the detuning of the passive power filter on the compensating characteristics of the RITHAF are studied by analyzing the suppression function. Simulation and industrial application results show that the RITHAF has excellent performances in harmonic suppression and reactive compensation, which is suitable for medium and high voltage systems.

A novel hybrid active power filter (NHAPF) that can be adopted in high-voltage systems is proposed in this paper. The topological structure and filtering principle of the compensating system is provided and analyzed, respectively. Different controlling strategies are also presented to select the suitable strategy for the compensation system. Based on the selected strategy, the harmonic suppression function is used to analyze the influence of system parameters on the compensating system with MATLAB. Moreover, parameters in the injection branch are designed and analyzed. The performance of the proposed NHAPF in harmonic suppression and reactive power compensation is simulated with PSim. Thereafter, the overall control method is proposed. Simulation analysis and real experiments show that the proposed NHAPF exhibits good harmonic suppression and reactive power compensation. The proposed compensated system is based on the three-phase four-switch inverter, which is inexpensive, and the control method is verified for validity and effectiveness.

In this paper, a size-reduced Wilkinson balun with wide harmonic-suppressed band is presented. An accurate analysis of the parallel coupled line with an open stub (PCL-OS) is carried out. The PCL-OS structure shows excellent low pass filter and harmonic-suppression characteristics, which is useful for designing a low pass filter unit cell (LUC) with a reduced size. The designed Wilkinson balun at a 2.45 GHz center frequency not only shows an excellent harmonic suppression including the 5th harmonics up to 14 GHz over 15 dB, but it also has an area reduced to 48% of the conventional one.

High-power communication jammer has to include the switched filter bank to eliminate the harmonic signals generated by amplifier. Generally, the switched filter bank consists of in-out switches and several filters. This paper describes the design of high-power switched filter bank, particularly the high-power filter bank operating over 20$\sim$110MHz frequency range. The filters designed have insertion loss less than 0.3dB, VSWR less than 1.25:1, and harmonic suppression more than 35dB. Also, the switched filter bank can endure upto 2kW high-power signal with very low harmonic level within $30{\mu}s$ switching speed.

In this work, open and short stubs that were fabricated on the silicon substrate and for which the periodically arrayed grounded-strip structure (PAGS) was employed were studied along with their basic RF characteristics for an applicability regarding the RF-matching components. The PAGS-employing open and short stubs showed losses that are much lower than that of the conventional stub on the silicon substrate. Concretely, the Q values of the open and short stubs are 9 and 10.2, respectively, while the Q value of the conventional open stub is 2.5. With the use of the PAGS-employing open and short stubs, a highly miniaturized harmonic-rejection filter was also fabricated on the silicon substrate. The filter exhibited a comparatively sound harmonic-suppression characteristic at n × 13 GHz, and its size is 0.1 mm², which is only 7% of the size of the conventional filter on the silicon substrate.

In this paper, a single Phase voltage source voltage-controlled active power filter(APF) for power quality improvement was proposed. The proposed APF has the performance of harmonic suppression and unity power factor correction. The performance of harmonic suppression can be obtained by controlling the waveshape of the APF output voltage to be sine wave. And, unity power factor is controlled by the reactive power control loop of the APF output. Simulation and experimental results using diode rectifier showed that the voltage-controlled APF, unlike the current-controlled APF, can reduce the voltage harmonics as well as current harmonics. Also the results showed that the input dover factor and power quality were greatly improved.

본 논문에서는 제 2차 고조파의 감쇠특성이 향상된 새로운 평행 결합선로 마이크로스트립 대역통과 여파기의 설계, 제작 및 특성에 관해서 소개한다. 결합선로에 연속적인 패턴을 사용함으로써 원하는 기본 통과대역의 특성을 향상시킴과 동시에 원하지 않는 고조파 통과대역은 제거한다. 또한 결합선로 사이의 간격, 마이크로스트립 선폭 및 길이와 같이 여파기 디자인을 위해 요구되는 매개변수의 복잡한 재계산이 필요하지 않다. 즉, 평행결합선로 마이크로스트립 여파기의 전통적인 디자인 방법으로 설계한 기본 구조에 규칙적인 변형을 주면서 손쉽게 구현할 수 있다. 이 새로운 여파기의 성능을 평가하기 위해 2.5 GHz에서 10 % 대역폭을 가지는 3차 Butterworth 대역통과 여파기와 10 GHz에서 15 % 대역폭을 가지는 5차 Chebyshev 대역통과 여파기가 사용됐다. 각각 5개와 3개의 정사각형 홈이 사용됐을 때 30 dB 이상의 고조파 감쇠가 발생하며 통과대역에서는 더 우수한 차단 특성이 있다.

For the purpose of decreasing intermodulation distortion, a new multi-harmonic suppression band-pass filter based on a microstrip radial stub is studied. Compared with traditional resonator filters, the new filter can suppress the second, third, and even fourth harmonics directly. The dimension of the filter is about $0.3\;{\lambda}_{g^0}{\times}0.13\;{\lambda}_{g^0}$ (${\lambda}_{g^0}$ is the guiding wavelength at the resonant frequency). Only one gap was introduced, so lower insertion loss can be obtained. Basic agreement between the measured and simulated results has been achieved.
