INTRODUCTION
Induction heating appliance market is increasing

due to its fastest heating time and efficiency.

The principle of operation is based on the
generation of a variable magnetic field by means
of a planar inductor below a metallic vessel.
The usual operating frequency is higher than 20
kHz to avoid the audible range and lower than
100 kHz to reduce switching losses.
The most used device is the insulated gate
bipolar transistor (IGBT) because of the
operating frequency range and the output power
range, up to 3 KW.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The scope of the project is to design a resonant

converter in direct AC-AC conversion.

The objective is to propose a new topology to improve
the efficiency while reducing the power device count
for induction heating applications.
The proposed topology is based on the series resonant
half-bridge topology and requires only two rectifier
diodes.

MODULE DESCRIPTION
Modules 1: INTRODUCTION
The effective output voltage is doubled, as in allowing

a significant current reduction in the switching

devices. Moreover, the proposed topology can operate
with zero-voltage switching conditions during turnon for both switching devices, and also during turnoff transitions for one of them. As a consequence, the
efficiency is improved while the device count is
reduced.

 Modules2:PROPOSED POWER CONVERTER

The proposed topology is a seriesparallel

resonant converter. The inductorpot system is
modeled as an equivalent series resistance Req
and inductance Leq. This topology implements
resonant capacitors Cr and may use a bus
capacitor Cb. Due to the symmetry between
positive and negative mains voltage, both
resonant capacitors have the same value. An
input inductor Ls is used to reduce the harmonic
content
to
fulfill
the
electromagnetic
compatibility regulations.

SWITCHING PATTERN

 The DC voltage is compared with the reference

voltage. The resulted error voltage is sent

through PI controller and after multiplying
with Vs the result is given to the summer
where the input current is compared with the
input voltage for unity power factor operation.
The resulted waveform is compared with the
carrier signal (triangular signal) by a
comparator and the pulses are fed to the
converter switches.

CONCLUSION
This paper presents a new acac converter applied to

domestic induction heating. An analytical analysis has

been performed in order to obtain the equations and
operation modes that describe the proposed converter.
The converter can operate with zero-voltage switching
during both turn-on and turn-off commutations. As a
consequence, the power converter efficiency is
improved in the whole operating range. The design is
implemented in MATLAB SIMULINK and the results
are presented.
