This paper presents and analyzes the asymmetrical voltage-cancellation (AVC) control, a generalized control technique for resonant inverters. It is applied to the popular full-bridge series resonant inverter. The proposed control technique achieves better efficiency performances than conventional fixed-frequency control strategies, while considering zero-voltage-switching operation, output power and load variations. The theoretical results are verified experimentally, using a prototype for an induction-heating cooking appliance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
