Abstract

Provided are a method and a device for controlling an operation of an inverter. The method includes: determining whether a direct current side voltage of the inverter is greater than an operation voltage setting threshold; and if no, controlling the inverter to operate according to a five level control strategy; and if yes: adjusting the direct current side voltage by using a maximum power tracking algorithm; adjusting linearly a floating capacitor voltage of the inverter based on the adjusted direct current side voltage; determining whether the adjusted floating capacitor voltage is in a preset range; and if yes, controlling the inverter to operate according to a five level control strategy; and if no, controlling the inverter to operate according to a seven level control strategy.
