Comparative study of multiple-output series resonant inverters for IH applications

This paper presents the comparative study of multiple output inverter topologies in terms of their circuit operation, control techniques, output power, number of switches required and their efficiency. It includes the concept of multi-output inverter for IH applications. Two multi-output topologies are explained for high power and low power applications. These topologies allow higher efficiency, low cost and less switching losses as compared to other multiple output techniques such as paralleled power converters and load-multiplexation technique. The control strategy includes asymmetrical voltage cancellation (AVC), Variable frequency duty cycle (VFDC) and Pulse density modulation (PDM) control techniques. The performance of multiple-output inverter topologies is verified using MATLAB Simulink.
