Abstract

A converter and a power backfeed control method applied to a photovoltaic power generation system are provided. The power backfeed control method includes: controlling, according to a backfeed instruction, the converter to enter a backfeed mode, where in the backfeed mode, the converter can transmit energy of the power grid to a selected photovoltaic string with a corresponding number; determining a backfeed control voltage according to the backfeed instruction, and determining a voltage limit in a process of determining the backfeed control voltage; determining an actual backfeed voltage based on the backfeed control voltage and the voltage limit, where the actual backfeed voltage is a smaller one of the backfeed control voltage and the voltage limit; and controlling the converter to output the actual backfeed voltage to the selected photovoltaic string, to enable the selected photovoltaic string to generate an electroluminescent effect.
