The invention provides a nine-level
inverter topological structure and a modulation method thereof, the topological structure comprises a load end, and a first direct-
current voltage source, a second direct-
current voltage source and a third direct-
current voltage source which are respectively connected with the load end, and the output
voltage ratio among the first direct-current
voltage source, the second direct-current
voltage source and the third direct-current
voltage source is 2: 1: 1. By configuring an
insulated gate bipolar transistor and a
power diode, the number of switching tubes is reduced, and the
inverter is ensured not to have the problems of power backward flowing and instantaneous peak voltage, so that the power backward flowing phenomenon caused by the fact that the current of a high-voltage
power unit reversely flows into a low-voltage
power unit and the instantaneous peak voltage during inductive loading are avoided; the stability of circuit output power is ensured, the design is simplified, and a step wave and carrier wave laminated
hybrid modulation method is used, so that the low switching loss of a high-voltage
power unit and the excellent
harmonic characteristic of the output voltage of the
inverter are ensured.
