In high-power applications, different multilevel voltage source converter (VSC) topologies are usually applied. The hybrid parallel multiconverters, which is a combination of multiactive and hybrid VSCs connecting in parallel, can be a promising solution in a high-power grid. In this article, the fusion VSC topology concept is proposed in which fusion VSC takes the advantages of both active (inductive coupling) VSC and hybrid (capacitive coupling) VSC. It corresponds to overcoming the insufficient-capacity problems when active VSCs are employed alone and vice versa. This article proposes fusion active power filter topology by combing active and hybrid power VSC through their equivalent model for power quality compensation. With the proposed VSC's equivalent model, it can reduce the converter rating by 17%–80% compared with the conventional approaches. Additionally, the corresponding control algorithm is proposed for the FAPF for power quality compensation. Finally, the simulation and real-time digital simulator hardware-in-the-loop experimental results of the proposed FAPF topology are given to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness for reducing its capacity and power loss compared with the conventional multi-VSC in power quality compensation.
