one end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the common ends of the second switching unit Q2 and the third switching unit Q3, and the other end is connected to the common ends of the first switching unit Q1 and the ninth switching unit Q9;
one end of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the common ends of the fourth switching unit Q4 and the fifth switching unit Q5, and the other end is connected to the common ends of the sixth switching unit Q6 and the tenth switching unit Q10;
one end of the current-limiting inductor L1 is connected to the common terminal of the third switching unit Q3 and the fourth switching unit Q4, and the other end is connected to the common terminal of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2.
In this embodiment, the switching unit is a switching tube. In other embodiments, the switch unit may be other elements, and only needs to function as a switch.
In this embodiment, the current limiting inductor L1 is used to limit the charge and discharge currents of the third capacitor C3 and the fourth capacitor C4. In this embodiment, one end of the current limiting inductor L1 is connected to the common terminal of the third switching unit Q3 and the fourth switching unit Q4, and the other end is connected to the common terminal of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. In other embodiments, the current limiting inductor may be multiple and may be connected at other positions, so long as the current limiting function is achieved.

In this embodiment, the seventh switching unit Q7 and the eighth switching unit Q8 and the anti-parallel diode thereof may use a half-bridge structure package module. In this embodiment, the voltage levels of the half-bridge structure package modules used by the seventh switch unit Q7 and the eighth switch unit Q8 that are applicable in practical applications are several fixed voltage values, and the effect of increasing the AC voltage at the AC end cannot be achieved by increasing the static withstand voltage of the half-bridge structure package modules of the seventh switch unit Q7 and the eighth switch unit Q8 at will.

The tenth switching unit Q10 functions similarly. The ninth and tenth switching units Q9 and Q10 can thus enable the AC terminal AC to meet higher voltage requirements, which can further reduce the costs and losses of the AC side line, the filter and the grid-connected transformer.

Specifically, when the four-level topology unit works in the second mode H2, the second switching unit Q2, the fourth switching unit Q4, the sixth switching unit Q6, the seventh switching unit Q7, the ninth switching unit Q9 are turned on, and the other switching units are turned off. The potential of the common connection segment M2 is raised to the sum of the voltages across the first capacitor C1 and the third capacitor C3. The positive electrode DC+ of the direct-current power supply supplies current to the alternating-current terminal AC through the second switching unit Q2, the third capacitor C3, the seventh switching unit Q7 and the ninth switching unit Q9; or the alternating current terminal AC supplies current to the positive electrode dc+ of the direct current power supply through the seventh diode D7, the ninth diode D9, the third capacitor C3 and the second diode D2.

In this embodiment, the first carrier signal a and the second carrier signal B have the same amplitude and frequency. In other embodiments, the first carrier signal a and the second carrier signal B may have different magnitudes and frequencies.
The waveform timing diagram of the AC terminal AC in fig. 7 indicates the timing sequence corresponding to the four-level topology unit when the four-level topology unit works in four working modes.
The four-level topological unit can provide higher alternating voltage under the condition of keeping low loss, can effectively reduce the alternating side cost and loss of the alternating-current/direct-current converter, and meanwhile, the switching tube is uniformly packaged, so that the reliability is higher. In addition, by adding the ninth switching unit Q9 and its antiparallel diode and the tenth switching unit Q10 and its antiparallel diode, the AC terminal AC can meet higher voltage requirements, which further reduces the cost and loss of the AC side, the filter and the grid-connected transformer. And the cost pressure brought by re-packaging is reduced, the reliability and the universality of the product are improved, and meanwhile, the circuit has a smaller current circulation path and lower switch tube stress. When the invention is applied to a photovoltaic power generation system and the like, the invention can meet higher alternating voltage under the same PV voltage level, so that the cost and loss of the alternating-current side grid-connected transformer and the alternating-current cable can be further reduced. In addition, the invention can solve the problems of huge volume, increased cost, increased loss, reduced efficiency and the like of the whole machine caused by adopting voltage equalizing measures and larger absorption circuits to prevent overvoltage at two ends of partial switching tubes or diodes in the traditional four-level technology. Meanwhile, the invention can use the existing mature three-level structure packaging module, and solves the problems of low reliability, high cost, poor universality and the like caused by the fact that the traditional four-level structure packaging module is not uniformly packaged and needs to be packaged again. Further, the dynamic voltage stress of the first switching unit Q1, the second switching unit Q2, the third switching unit Q3, the fourth switching unit Q4, the fifth switching unit Q5, the sixth switching unit Q6, the seventh switching unit Q7, and the eighth switching unit Q8 is only half of the bus voltage, which brings the benefit that the switching units with lower voltage level can be used to meet higher ac voltage, so that the cost of the power device is reduced, and meanwhile, the stress of the second switching unit Q2, the third switching unit Q3, the fourth switching unit Q4, and the fifth switching unit Q5 is small because the first switching unit Q1 and the sixth switching unit Q6 have no switching loss, so that the switching tube loss is small, the requirements of an absorption and heat dissipation system are small, the system cost is low, the reliability is improved, and the efficiency is improved. The invention can also meet the requirement of higher alternating-current side voltage, particularly for the current photovoltaic market and energy storage market, the alternating-current side of the invention needs to be connected to a medium-voltage power grid of 10KVAc or 35KVAc, under the same direct-current voltage grade and the same power grade, the invention can reduce the cost and loss of an alternating-current side grid-connected transformer and an alternating-current cable, thereby reducing the cost of the whole system and improving the system efficiency, because the higher the voltage of the alternating-current side is, the smaller the alternating current under the same power is, the smaller the wire diameter of the alternating-current side can be used, and the turn ratio of the transformer is also smaller.
