The technique is based on a volume-element discretization, integral formulation of Maxwell’s equa- tions, and uses the multilayer Green’s function to avoid volumetric meshing of the heated material. The technique demonstrates two orders of magnitude of computa- tional advantage compared to existing FEM techniques. Single-objective and multi- objective optimization of a domestic induction heating coil are performed using the new technique, using more advanced algorithms than those previously used due to the increase in speed. Both optimization algorithms produced novel, three-dimensional induction coil designs. Thesis Supervisor: John G.

  • FSM Induction Cooking Feature April 2014
    FSM Magazine – April 2014 Feature: Induction Cooking Please attribute any quotes on this information to Ray Hall, Managing Director, RH Hall Ltd How do induction cookers work compared to conventional equipment? Induction works by the process of passing a high frequency alternating current through an electrically conducting object (usually metal) to create a magnetic field of energy. This energy then induces an electric current in the metal object it comes into contact with it – i.e. in the case of cooking – it creates a flowing current in a metal pan which then produces resistive heating, which heats the food. In an induction cooker, a ferromagnetic coil is placed underneath a ceramic hob that transfers heat directly to the metal pan on top. Whilst the current is large, it is produced by a low voltage. The induction process works by ‘direct’ heating of a metal cooking vessel, as opposed to using ‘heat transfer’ which you have when burning gas on a traditional cooking stove. For nearly all models of induction cooktop, the cooking vessel must be made of a ferromagnetic metal or placed on an interface disk which enables non-induction cookware to be used on induction cooking surfaces. How widespread is their use becoming? Induction cooking equipment may still be more expensive than traditional methods at the moment, but it is becoming cheaper and more cost effective, especially since the interest and acceptance of it is widening and with more ranges becoming available in the market – most manufacturers now offer some form of induction cooking equipment – from the entry level – like our Maestrowave Induction Hob which runs off a 13 amp plug, to full induction ranges, which are an alternative to a traditional gas 6 burner range for example.

Electric stoves would alleviate many of these issues, but significant barriers to adoption, most notably lack of reliable electric power, make current commercial options infeasible. However, a stove with an input power of 24V DC elegantly solves the issue of intermittent power by allowing car batteries to be used instead of a grid connection, while also allowing seamless integration with small scale solar installations and solar-based micro-grids. However, no existing commercial stoves nor academic research have attempted to create an induction stove powered from a low voltage DC source. This paper presents the design of a low voltage current-fed, full-bridge parallel resonant converter stove.

  • Induction Cooking – Igbts in Resonant Converters
    AN4713 Application note Induction cooking: IGBTs in resonant converters Luigi Abbatelli, Giuseppe Catalisano, Rosario Gulino, Maurizio Melito Introduction In this paper, we specifically examine the role of STMicroelectronics IGBTs in resonant converters for induction cooking applications. We aim to help designers select the appropriate IGBTs for their circuits by explaining the dependence of IGBT power loss on key parameters, circuit topology and application requirements. Resonant and quasi-resonant switching techniques have been widely used in high-frequency power conversion systems in order to reduce overall size, weight and power loss [1]. To minimize switching losses, resonant and quasi-resonant converters force switching transitions to occur when there is either zero current through or zero voltage across the power switch. However, the necessary current or voltage rating of the IGBT is much higher than that required for conventional hard-switching systems, so the devices are more expensive. For medium and high power systems, IGBTs with higher current density and low saturation voltages must be selected to minimize the conduction loss. An induction cooking application is included to evaluate STMicroelectronics IGBT components or to get started quickly with your own induction cooking development project. Induction cooking is not a new invention, it is used all around the world with first patents dating to the early 1900s[2]. With recent improvements in technology and the consequent reduction of component costs, induction cooking equipment is becoming increasingly more affordable.

  • High Frequency Inverter Power Stage Design Considerations for Non-Magnetic Materials Induction Cooking
    High Frequency Inverter Power Stage Design Considerations for Non-Magnetic Materials Induction Cooking Zidong Liu Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Electrical Engineering Jason Lai, Chairman Kathleen Meehan Wensong Yu January 14, 2011 Blacksburg, Virginia Key words: Electromagnetic, Induction Cooking, Series-Resonant, Soft Switching Copyright 2010, Zidong Liu High Frequency Inverter Power Stage Design Considerations for Non-Magnetic Materials Induction Cooking Zidong Liu ABSTRACT Recently induction cookers, which are based on induction heating principle, have become quite popular due to their advantages such as high energy efficiency, safety, cleanliness, and compact size. However, it is widely known that with current technology, induction cookers require the cookware to be made of magnetic materials such as iron and stainless steel. This is why a lot of cookware is labeled ―Induction Ready‖ on the bottom. The limited choice of ―Induction Ready‖ cookware causes inconvenience to customers and limits the growing popularity of the induction cooker. Therefore, a novel induction cooker, which can work for non-magnetic material cookware such as aluminum and copper, can be very competitive in the market. This thesis studies the induction cooking application; briefly introduces its fundamental principle, research background and the motivation of the development of a non-magnetic material induction cooker. Followed by the research motivation, three commonly used inverter topologies, series resonant inverter, parallel resonant inverter, and single-ended resonant inverter, are introduced. A comparative study is made among these three topologies, and the comparative study leads to a conclusion that the series resonant inverter is more suitable for non-magnetic material induction cooking application.

  • Rigorous Electromagnetic Analysis of Domestic Induction Heating Appliances
    PIERS ONLINE, VOL. 5, NO. 5, 2009 491 Rigorous Electromagnetic Analysis of Domestic Induction Heating Appliances G. Cerri, S. A. Kovyryalov, V. Mariani Primiani, and P. Russo Universit`aPolitecnica Delle Marche | DIBET, Via Brecce Bianche, Ancona 60100, Italy Abstract| In this paper the developed analytical electromagnetic model of induction heating system is presented. The model was built up assuming equivalent electric and magnetic currents flowing in each planar element of the typical structure used for an induction heating system: the load disk represents the pan steel bottom, the copper inductor, and ferrite flux conveyor. A system of integral equations system was then obtained enforcing the boundary conditions on each element of the structure for the electric and magnetic ¯elds, produced by the equivalent currents. The numerical solution of the system is a matrix equation with a known voltage vector in the left-hand side, and product of impedance coe±cients matrix and unknown electric and magnetic currents vector in the right-hand side. Since the feeding voltage is known, and impedance coe±cients are calculated using of geometry and material parameters, currents vector can be also calculated. Thus, the whole model is solved and it gives a detailed picture of currents distribution in the system, which in its turn allows to analyze heating process in the load. Each step of developing of the model was veri¯ed by appropriate experimental measurements. Achieved results give a possibility to analyze and develop improvements to increase e±ciency, safety and to reduce the cost. 1. INTRODUCTION Domestic induction cookers become more and more popular because of their high e±ciency, safety and ease in use.
