“…To increase the efficiency of the system topology and to reduce the number of components, single-stage AC-AC resonant converters have been proposed [24,26,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. Figure 7 shows the general block diagram of the single-stage power conversion topology.…”

In the current scenario, power electronic device-based induction heating (IH) technologies are widely employed in domestic cooking, industrial melting and medical applications. These IH applications are designed using different converter topologies, modulation and control techniques. This review article mainly focuses on the modelling of half-bridge series resonant inverter, electrical and thermal model of IH load. This review also analyses the performance of the converter topologies based on the power conversion stages, switching frequency, power rating, power density, control range, modulation techniques, load handling capacity and efficiency. Moreover, this paper provides insight into the future of IH application, with respect to the adaptation of wide band-gap power semiconductor materials, multi-output topologies, variable-frequency control schemes with minimum losses and filters designed to improve source-side power factor. With the identified research gap in the literature, an attempt has also been made to develop a new hybrid modulation technique, to achieve a wide range of power control with high efficiency. A 100 W full-bridge inverter prototype is realised both in simulation and hardware, with various modulation schemes using a PIC16F877A microcontroller. The results are compared with existing techniques and the comparisons reveal that the proposed scheme is highly viable and effective for the rendered applications.

“…Conventional ac-dc converters are intended to act as rectifiers with a unity power factor. For example, boosttype converters that follow the passive diode bridge rectifiers are used for the power factor correction for lighting loads [66]- [72], home appliances [73]- [74], and other devices [75]- [76]. However, additional features are necessary in dc microgrids, as was discussed in Section II.…”

Residential dc microgrids and nanogrids are the emerging technology that is aimed to promote the transition to energy-efficient buildings and provide simple, highly flexible integration of renewables, storages, and loads. At the same time, the mass acceptance of dc buildings is slowed down by the relative immaturity of the dc technology, lack of standardization and general awareness about its potential. Additional efforts from multiple directions are necessary to promote this technology and increase its market attractiveness. In the near-term, it is highly likely that the dc buildings will be connected to the conventional ac distribution grid by a front-end ac-dc converter that provides all the necessary protection and desired functionality. At the same time, the corresponding requirements for this converter have not been yet consolidated. To address this, present paper focuses on various aspects of the integration of dc buildings and includes analysis of related standards, directives, operational and compatibility requirements as well as classification of voltage levels. In addition, power converter configurations and modulation methods are analyzed and compared. A classification of topologies that can provide the required functionality for the This article has been accepted for publication in IEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics.

“…The most interesting topologies for domestic IH are the boost topologies, because they get a higher voltage in comparison with buck topologies, decreasing the current in the IH inverters and coils, improving consequently the efficiency. In this way, [9] proposes a multi‐phase stage. This front‐end PFC merges the mains phases in the same bus voltage, v b , getting a good PF and a decreased THD of the mains currents.…”

“…The current limitations of domestic IH, in general, and the flexible surface technology, in particular, can be overcome by using an additional power conversion stage (Figure 1) to sepa-rate the IH inverters from the mains, as it has been previous discussed in [8][9][10]. This solution enables obtaining a good EMC performance [11][12][13] and decreasing the design constraints of IH inverters [14,15].…”

The technology of flexible cooking surfaces applied to domestic induction heating (IH) appliances offers several advantages that improve the experience of the users, not only because the safety or cleanness, but also due to the fast heating and flexibility. These cooktops have more challenging design requirements because of different mains connections, efficiency requirements, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, control complexity, and cost. In previous works, the use of a front-end power factor corrector (PFC) rectifier has been proposed to overcome these restrictions. In order to get a cost-effective implementation, this paper proposes the use of a front-end PFC stage and a matrix resonant inverter, which features zero voltage switching (ZVS), to achieve a reduced number of power devices, and get a high performance and reduced power losses in the converter. Finally, an experimental prototype with four outputs of 3.6 kW has been implemented to prove the feasibility of this proposal.
