AbstractThe four‐switch Buck‐Boost (FSBB) converter are widely used in combination with other isolated converter to extend the voltage range capability of the overall structure. When the converter operates in buck‐boost mode and boost mode, it exhibits a right half plane zero (RHPZ) in the control to output transfer function. This characteristic would cause negative impact to stability of the converter. In order to eliminate the RHPZ, a novel modulation method is proposed in this paper. The buck mode is introduced to the modulation to adjust the voltage gain, and the corresponding average state space modeling for the FSBB with the proposed modulation is established. The simulation of the converter with the proposed modulation method and traditional modulation are presented. Finally, experiment results by hardware in the loop (HIL) platform is employed to verity the correctness of theoretical analysis results.
