LLC Resonant Inverter for Induction Heating with Asymmetrical Voltage-Cancellation Control ABSTRACT This paper proposes a high efficiency LLC resonant inverter for induction heating applications by using asymmetrical voltage cancellation control. The proposed control method is implemented in a full-bridge topology for induction heating application. The operating frequency is automatically adjusted to maintain a small constant lagging phase angle under load parameter variation. The output power is controlled using the asymmetrical voltage cancellation technique.

The LLC resonant tank is designed without the use of output transformer. This results in an increase of the net efficiency of the induction heating system. The validity of the proposed method is verified through computer simulation and hardware experiment at the operating frequency of 93 to 96 kHz.

0-9347143789/9949240245 CONCLUSION This work proposes the full-bridge LLC resonant inverter for induction heating application. The phase-locked loop allows resonant frequency tracking under load parameter variation. The analytical expression of the output power as a function of the shifted phase angle is given in this work. Based on the derived expression, the asymmetrical voltage cancellation can be used to control output power to the induction coil. Simulation and experimental studies are performed to verify the proposed control method. The resonant frequency tracking and the adjustment of pulse voltage together ensure the maximum power transfer to the load throughout the heating cycle with minimal loss.
