Multiple-output resonant inverter topology for multi-inductor loads

Multiple-inductor systems are widely present in the current technology. These systems require controlling either the supplied voltage or power to several loads with different requirements simultaneously. As a consequence, the cost and size of the power stage may increase beyond the admissible limits for certain applications. Considering multiple-inductor loads, a novel multiple-output series resonant inverter (MOSRI) topology is proposed to obtain a cost-effective and high-power-density solution. The converter is based on a common inverter block and a resonant-load block. The performed analysis includes the description of the operation modes and the control strategy analysis. Domestic induction heating has been considered for application due to its special cost and size requirements, and the extensive inductor use. The proposed converter has been designed and validated experimentally through a prototype, which includes the power converter and the FPGA-based control architecture.
