The invention discloses a control method of a
hybrid-control cascaded
multilevel inverter and a
multilevel inverter. The controlling method comprises the following steps: obtaining output voltages of N groups of photovoltaic cells to get 1st, 2nd,..., ith,..., Nth output voltages; counting conduction angles theta1', theta2',..., thetai',...,thetaN' of the 1st, 2nd,..., ith,..., Nth output voltages; ceiling to obtain theta1, theta2, theta(i),..., theta(N); controlling the conductions of the 1st, 2nd,..., ith,..., Nth output voltages respectively by utilizing the conduction angles theta1, theta2, thetai,..., thetaN; obtaining step wave output voltages by utilizing a step wave
algorithm; obtaining the output voltages of m groups of photovoltaic cells; utilizing an instantaneous value feedback
algorithm to get instantaneous value feedback output voltages; and serially overlapping the step wave output voltages with the instantaneous value feedback output voltages to form a total output
voltage, thus implementing the change from the DC (
direct current) multilevel input into the AC (
alternating current) level output. By using the scheme provided by the invention, the work frequency can be decreased, the conversion efficiency of the
inverter is improved, the
electromagnetic interference is reduced and the
system structure is simplified.
