Comparative Analysis of Various Modulation Strategies for Induction Heating System

This paper presents a combined asymmetrical voltage cancellation and pulse density modulation technique for energy efficient induction heating system. The proposed technique minimizes the switching losses through soft switching operation and improves the efficiency at low power level. In this modulation technique, the smooth power control can be achieved. The study of power converter has been performed through MATLAB simulation tool and the results are presented. In this proposal, the efficiency of PDM and AVC control techniques are compared with the Hybrid Modulation technique.
