Design and Control of a Single-Phase Series Resonance Inverter using an Arduino Microcontroller

Abstract

The resonance converters are widely used in induction heating, emergency power supplies or for signal filtering in electrical power conversion. Today, research in the field of resonance converters represents an important part of the research, especially with the development of digital calculators and control units such as DSP, FPGA, and Microcontrollers. The digital control is a branch of control theory that uses digital computers and calculators to act as system controllers, it has been greatly used in different applications such as the power transmission and if compared to traditional analogue control the digital control has many advantages. In this work, we have mainly interested in the design and implementation of a singlephase resonant inverter witch controlled by an Arduino board. The objective is to achieve high-frequency waveforms signals and take a look at a very attractive physical phenomenon called the resonance. The obtained results show the effectiveness and the operating simplicity of the series resonant inverter with two switches and the effectiveness of the digital control through the Arduino board at high-frequency levels.
