Abstract: This paper proposes a novel seven-level power topology, that increases the number of output levels by using fewer power switches and capacitors compared to the traditional seven-level topology. Moreover, the working mechanism of the proposed topology and its implementation method are given. Furthermore, a two-stage capacitor-voltage equalization control strategy with overall control and independent control is proposed. Finally, the proposed topology is applied to the active power filter system, and simulations and experimental research of two types of working conditions are performed. The results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the new topology and control strategy.
