“…Based on the power conversion stages, the IH converter topologies are classified into two types, namely dual-stage power conversion (AC-DC-AC) and single-stage power conversion (AC-AC). The most commonly used two-stage topologies are single-switch (SS) resonant inverters [13][14][15][16] half-bridge (HB) inverter [17][18][19][20][21] and full-bridge (FB) inverter. [22][23][24][25][26] These topologies are used to feed power, either to single or multi-loads, with additional modifications.…”

The concept of induction heating is slowly entrenching as it has the traits of homogeneous heating, zero pollution and higher power density. To achieve these traits convincingly in reality, there is a need to develop energy efficient converter topologies, which aid in achieving power regulation of soft switching and very high frequency operation. This paper presents the salient features of converter topologies used for domestic and industrial heating applications with a focus on its stage-wise power conversion, power density, load handling capacity, soft switching, reliability and size. The performance of these topologies is analysed in terms of converter switching frequency, power rating, modulation techniques, flicker, user performance and efficiency. Moreover, this review paper predicts the future trends associated with the adaptation of wide band-gap power semiconductor materials, multi-output topologies, variable frequency control scheme with minimum losses and filter design to improve source-side power factor. The detailed technology review will be extremely useful for researchers, designers and engineers in choosing the appropriate topology for the chosen application.

We analyze the feasibility of heating non-metallic cookware, unappropriate for heating by means of induced currents, with the purpose of extending the applicability range of the current induction heating cooktops. In order to turn materials as glass, ceramic, wood or plastic into suitable for the induction heating technology, we propose the use of thin layers of a metal (not necessarily a ferromagnetic material) which can be deposited on a surface by means of a thin or thick layer technology. For this purpose, the inductive performance of these layers is investigated by means of an analytical electromagnetic model, finite element simulations and experimental measurements. Calculations point out that for a specific induction arrangement working at a fixed frequency, it exists a thickness which maximizes the induction efficiency for each layer material. The suitability of this result is tested by means of a set of samples with copper thin layers whose thicknesses range from one hundred of nanometers to tens of micrometers, which are implemented using a phase vapor deposition (PVD) technology. The obtained induction efficiency and equivalent resistance are compared with those obtained with conventional ferromagnetic materials. As a proof of concept, the inner and outer bottoms of two glass pots are covered with a copper layer of 2 µm, and 1.5 µm, respectively, and 1 kW is inductively supplied by means of a series resonant inverter, reaching the boiling water conditions.
