Abstract
In this work, the phase lock loop PLL-based controller has been adopted for tracking the resonant frequency to achieve maximum power transfer between the power source and the resonant load. The soft switching approach has been obtained to reduce switching losses and improve the overall efficiency of the induction heating system. The jury’s stability test has been used to evaluate the system’s stability. In this article, a multilevel inverter has been used with a series resonant load for an induction heating system to clarify the effectiveness of using it over the conventional full-bridge inverter used for induction heating purposes. Reduced switches five-level inverter has been implemented to minimize switching losses, the number of drive circuits, and the control circuit’s complexity. A comparison has been made between the conventional induction heating system with full bridge inverter and the induction heating system with five level inverter in terms of overall efficiency and total harmonic distortion THD. MATLAB/ SIMULINK has been used for modeling and analysis. The mathematical analysis associated with simulation results shows that the proposed topology and control system performs well.
