Abstract
Solar energy is abundantly available energy for the generation of heat, and one the best appliances used for this purpose is Induction heaters. For the heat generation application, the combination of solar energy with the induction heat generation technique is the productive solution. Due to high efficiency and high-power density, resonant converters with soft switching are commonly utilized in domestic induction heating applications. For induction heating applications, a low profile and an improved efficiency resonant inverter design and implementation procedure are presented. Reducing conduction losses by using automotive-grade MOSFET devices against the classical IGBT-based converter. Conversion efficiency can be increased by decreasing switching losses which can be done by reducing switching times of MOSFET devices. Heating the metallic pan with circulating eddy currents induced by a high-frequency AC magnetic field is the principle of the induction cooker. If the load has an electrically conducting base, then the coil within the induction cooker and the load (pan/pot) acts as a transformer. The power will be transferred with high efficiency if the conducting base is ferromagnetic. An efficient control scheme incorporated in class E resonance heating by using solar power is presented. The simulation analysis is done in MATLAB-SIMULINK. Index Terms: induction heating, solar energy, class E resonant converter, MOSFET, MATLAB-SIMULINK
