Intensive utilization of Induction Heating (IH) innovations can be seen in numerous areas such as manufacturing industries, domestic or house hold and medicinal applications. The development of high switching frequency switches has encouraged the structure of high frequency inverters which are the key component of IH technology. Controlling the power output in a high frequency inverter for IH application is relatively complicated. This paper focuses on designing and developing a typical series resonance inverter and control it by FPGA-based controller. A MOSFET switch-based DC to AC converter is designed and Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS)-based switching strategy is accomplished to acquire less stress on switching devices and greater conversion efficiency. In this technique, secondary switched capacitor cell was proposed for resonant inverter of high frequency. To optimize the performance of the proposed inverter, the FPGA-based control system is implemented. Higher power density is the greatest advantage of this topology. The experimental and simulation model of the proposed series resonant inverter (SRI) for heating applications is developed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software.

This paper proposes a cost-effective series resonant inverter employed in applications of induction heating. The proposed inverter operates with high-frequency pulse-density modulation strategy for soft-switching. The high-frequency operation (20 kHz – 100 kHz) of this inverter results in a nearly sinusoidal output that is suitable for relatively fixed output applications such as induction heating. The series resonance circuit comprises an inductor and a capacitor that are in series with the load. The small size of resonating components is due to the high-frequency switching operation. The practical effectiveness of induction heating power supply is substantially proved by implementing a prototype series resonant inverter. To analyze the performance, comparison between the simulation and experimental results is done by using PSIM program

Induction heating application uses uniquely high frequency series resonant inverter for achieving high conversion efficiency. The proposed work focus on improving the practical constraints in requiring the cooling arrangements necessary for switching devices used in resonant inverter due to higher switching and conduction losses. By introducing high frequency Multi- MOSFET based series resonant inverter for the application of induction heating with the following merits such as minimum switching and conduction losses using low voltage grade  of automotive MOSFET’s and higher conversion efficiency with high frequency operation. By adding series combination of low voltage ratedMulti MOSFET switches, temperature variation according to the on-state resistance issues can be avoided by sharing the voltage across the switches depends on number switches connected in the bridge circuit without comprising existing system performance parameter such as THD, power factor, output power. Simulation results also presents to verify that the proposed system achieve higher converter efficiency.

This paper presents a study on a new full bridge series resonant converter (SRC) with wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) range, and higher output voltage. The high frequency transformer is connected in series with the LC series resonant tank. The tank inductance is therefore increased; all switches having the ability to turn on at ZVS, with lower switching frequency than the LC tank resonant frequency. Moreover, the step-up high frequency (HF) transformer design steps are introduced in order to increase the output voltage to overcome the gain limitation of the conventional SRC. Compared to the conventional SRC, the proposed converter has higher energy conversion, able to increase the ZVS range by 36%, and provide much higher output power. Finally, the a laboratory prototypes of the both converters with the same resonant tank parameters and input voltage are examined based on 1 and 2.2 kW power respectively, for veryfing  the reliability of the performance and the operation principles of both converters.
