The invention discloses a
hybrid multilevel converter and a variable
switching frequency trajectory optimization control method thereof. The
hybrid multilevel converter is connected between a
direct current power grid and a three-phase
alternating current power grid. The variable

hybrid multilevel converter comprises the following steps that S1,
differential equation models of the hybrid multilevel converter are established; S2,
discretization state equations from the (K+1)th step to the (K+
delta)th step are deduced; S3, a feasible sampling
point set of output current predicted values is determined; S4, the optimal value f<theta> of an objective function f<theta>(k) is obtained, a switching function vector S<theta,opt>[k] corresponding to a feasible predicted position is used as a kth-step
switching signal of the hybrid multilevel converter, data loading of a
digital signal processor is completed, and a PWM
switching signal is sent out at the moment corresponding to the optimal predicated position of a current trajectory. According to the hybrid multilevel converter and the variable
switching frequency trajectory optimization control method of the hybrid multilevel converter, submodule
direct current bus capacitance and
voltage stable control of all full-bridge inverters and all half-bridge inverters of an upper bridge arm and a lower bridge arm can be achieved, rapid trajectory tracking of a current on the
alternating current side can be achieved, and variable switching frequency optimization control can be achieved.
