A new current controller adopting dual hysteresis loops for a high-performa
nce four-switch boost rectifier is proposed in this letter. The four-switch
boost rectifier is operated under the so-called phase-adjusted unipolar pu
lsewidth modulation strategy. The inner loop confines the current ripple wi
thin a preset band. The outer loop determines the instants to change the sw
itching patterns. Experimental results are satisfactory.
