    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose an inverter apparatus and an inverter apparatus control method. The inverter apparatus includes an inverter circuit and a control unit, and the control unit detects a driving mode of the inverter circuit based on a running state of the inverter circuit. When the inverter circuit outputs reactive power and an output current amplitude is greater than a current threshold, the control unit controls the inverter circuit in a full-bridge two-level bipolar control mode; and in other cases, the control unit controls the inverter circuit in a three-level control mode. This reduces a risk of breaking down horizontal bridge semiconductor switching devices by a voltage spike in an active turn-off process.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic power generation system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules, a plurality of optimizers, and an inverter. Each optimizer is connected to at least one photovoltaic module, and output ends of the plurality of optimizers are connected in series to form a string and then connected to the inverter. The optimizer includes a conversion unit, and a control unit configured to control the conversion unit. The optimizer further includes an auxiliary power source, an energy storage unit, and a first unidirectional conduction unit that are connected between the conversion unit and the control unit. The control unit is configured to perform IV curve scanning for each voltage segment, where the voltage segments are obtained by segmenting a range of an output voltage of a photovoltaic module corresponding to the optimizer from an open-circuit voltage to a preset minimum voltage, and at least two voltage segments are obtained through division.

    Abstract: A power converter box and at least one junction box are integrated on a backplane of the photovoltaic module as a whole, and there is a cable for connecting the power converter and the junction box. In this case, relative to the conventional technology in which a junction box is independent of a power converter, a length of a cable used when the junction box and the power converter box are taken as a whole is shorter than a length of a cable used in the conventional technology. In this case, compared with the conventional technology in which a cable is connected to an independently placed power converter, the power converter only needs to establish a connection relationship by using a solder ribbon, a circuit board cable, and the like with low costs, so that production costs are low.
