This paper presents a combined asymmetrical voltage cancellation and pulse density modulation technique for energy efficient induction heating system. The proposed technique minimizes the switching losses through soft switching operation and improves the efficiency at low power level. In this modulation technique, the smooth power control can be achieved. The study of power converter has been performed through MATLAB simulation tool and the results are presented. In this proposal, the efficiency of PDM and AVC control techniques are compared with the Hybrid Modulation technique.

One of the most prominent application areas of induction heating principle is for sealing of caps of plastic and glass containers. It is increasingly being used to seal containers with extremely wide range industrial products. The process ambience around the controller for sealing of bottles containing different types of products could be different. Such prospects, often, could act as constraints for design of power controllers. Dust prone environment prevailing in processes such as for sealing nutraceuticals, coffee, a few pharma products, etc. recommends use of air-tight enclosure. It does not have any ventilation, even the natural air movement inside or the free convection is restricted. This article proposes that the internal convection could still be made effective by creating requisite buoyant force where both power converter topology and component engineering could play important roles. The topology should optimally reduce the power loss and surface temperature of components should be high. The proposed idea has been validated by designing a zero-ventilated 1.5 kW, 50 kHz induction heating system that includes the induction coil head.

In this article, a comparison of innovative multilevel inverter topology with standard topologies has been conducted. The proposed single phase five level inverter topology has been used for induction heating system. This suggested design generates five voltage levels with a fewer number of power switches. This reduction in number of switches decreases the switching losses and the number of driving circuits and reduce the complexity of control circuit. It also reduces the cost and size for the filter used. Analysis and comparison has been done among the conventional topologies (neutral clamped and cascade H-bridge multilevel inverters) with the proposed inverter topology. The analysis includes the total harmonic distortion THD, efficiency and overall performance of the inverter systems. The simulation and analysis have been done using MATLAB/ SIMULINK. The results show good performance for the proposed topology in comparison with the conventional topologies.

<p class="Abstract">This paper deals with a new AC – AC single stage full bridge series resonant converter for induction heating application. The proposed system is simulated with high power density modulation technique to produce a output power of 1.8Kw.The main feature of the proposed converter is to reduce the total harmonic distortion produced in the output current for the switching frequency of 29Khz.Asymmetrical pulse density modulation technique is proposed to achieve maximum output power with less harmonic content. It is found that the THD of the proposed high power density modulated converter is 13.43%. Here, the validity of the proposed converter for domestic induction heating application is compared and summarized.</p>

The induction heating process at a domestic level is getting attention nowadays as this power converting topology ensures clean, reliable, flexible, and fast operation. The low input frequency is converted to required regulated high output frequency with indirect and direct power converting approaches. The circuit and control complexity and high conversion losses associated with indirect power converting approaches lower their uses for domestic induction systems. The direct ac-ac power conversion approach is one of the viable solutions for low and medium power level loads, especially for domestic induction heating loads. The circuit complexity, cost, and conversion losses of the direct power converting systems depend on the number of the controlled switching devices as each controlled switch requires one gate driving circuit and one isolated dc supply. Simplified pulse width modulation (PWM) switching control also lower their control effort. Therefore, in this article, a simplified direct ac-ac power converting approach is introduced for a high-frequency domestic induction heating system. Here, the regulation of the high output frequency is achieved by simply cascading the single-phase full-bridge rectifier with a full-bridge inverter with a simple control strategy. The characteristics of the developed topology are validated through simulation results of the Simulink-based platform and practical results of the developed practical setup.
