Introduction: Induction heating is the release of thermal energy within a body due to the resistance of that material to a current passing through it. This mechanism is also called Joule heating or Ohmic dissipation. Induction heating has been proposed as a process that could have caused metamorphism and melting in planetesimals in the early solar system [1]. Although other theories are more wi...

This paper is concerned with the design of the power control system for a single-phase voltage source inverter feeding a parallel resonant induction heating load. The control of the inverter output current, meaning the active component of the current through the induction coil when the control frequency is equal or slightly exceeds the resonant frequency, is achieved by a Proportional-IntegralD...

In our daily life, central heating systems are generally used in home and office heating. The majority of fuel used in these systems are either natural gas or coal. However, in some cases air-conditioners and electrical oil-radiators are preferred in the heating of small mediums. But, the cost of electrical based heating is much higher than the cost of natural gas or coal based heating. Conside...
