This paper presents a new circuit topology and its digital control scheme for a half-bridge resonant inverter. As the proposed half-bridge inverter can be operated in load-freewheeling modes, the pulse-width modulation (PWM) method can be used for the output power control. The proposed half-bridge inverter is based on the resonant frequency-tracking algorithm with the goal of maintaining the unity of the output displacement factor of the load impedance even in varying conditions. In this paper, the operation principle, electrical characteristics, and detailed digital control scheme of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are described. The experimental results of the prototype experimental setup to verify the validity of the proposed half-bridge inverter are presented and discussed.

Induction cooking application with multiple loads need high power inverters and appropriate control techniques. This paper proposes an inverter configuration with buck-boost converter for multiple load induction cooking application with independent control of each load. It uses one half-bridge for each load. For a given dc supply of $V_{DC}$, one more $V_{DC}$ is derived using buck-boost converter giving $2V_{DC}$ as the input to each half-bridge inverter. Series resonant loads are connected between the centre point of $2V_{DC}$ and each half-bridge. The output voltage across each load is like that of a full-bridge inverter. In the proposed configuration, half of the output power is supplied to each load directly from the source and remaining half of the output power is supplied to each load through buck-boost converter. With buck-boost converter, each half-bridge inverter output power is increased to a full-bridge inverter output power level. Each half-bridge is operated with constant and same switching frequency with asymmetrical duty cycle (ADC) control technique. By ADC, output power of each load is independently controlled. This configuration also offers reduced component count. The proposed inverter configuration is simulated and experimentally verified with two loads. Simulation and experimental results are in good agreement. This configuration can be extended to multiple loads.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the improved reliability and optimal control of the half-bridge inverter for induction heating system. Parasitic inductance components within the inverter circuit for induction heating including the loss-less turn-off snubber capacitor considerably affect stable operation and noise level of the system. This paper analyzes the effect of the inductance in detail and presents a new snubber configuration suitable for the half-bridge inverter to effectively reduce it. In the half-bridge inverter for induction heating the capacity of the loss-less snubber capacitor determines the switching losses because the zero voltage turn-on switching is used. However, the increase of the capacitor is limited by the system specifications, so that it is not easy work to reduce the switching loss. To effectively overcome the limitation, this paper introduces an active auxiliary resonant circuit suitable for the half-bridge inverter circuit, which operates actively according to the variation of load condition. It is also one of the most important study issues for the half-bridge inverter driven induction heater that the development of optimal control scheme considering varied load condition should be achieved. The control strategy ensures a very stable operation of overall inverter system and zero voltage turn-on switching irrespective of sensitive load parameter variations, in particular, even under the non-magnetic materials.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of the half-bridge resonant inverter. As the proposed half-bridge inverter can be operated in the load freewheeling modes, pulse width modulation (PWM) control method can be used for the output power control. The proposed half-bridge inverter should keep unity output displacement factor under the load-impedance varying conditions, if a new PWM control scheme based on the resonant frequency tracking algorithm is adopted. In this paper, electrical characteristics, and losses analysis of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are described. Simulation and experimental results of the prototype experimental setup to verify the validity of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are presented and discussed.

A novel half load-cycle worked dual input single output (DISO) DC/AC inverter is presented. The basic circuit consists of a dual buck regulator, which works in continuous current mode. The working principle of DISO DC/AC inverter has been used. The control method applied for half load-cycle worked DISO DC/AC inverter has been studied. The control effects of the open-loop proportional control and closed-loop proportional-integral control are compared by using PSIM software. The parameters are adopted in the realistic simulation and experiment test. Moreover, the waveforms, such as voltage of modulation reference signal and output voltage, were given. The simulation and experiment results proved that the half load-cycle worked DISO DC/AC inverter could achieve good performance, gain a line frequency of 50 Hz, and verify the correctness of theoretical analysis.

Simulation results through the Pspice have demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed inverter. This proposed inverter will be able to be practically used as a power supply in various fields as induction heating applications, DC-DC converter etc.

The two-stage converter is widely used in traditional DC/AC inverter. It has several disadvantages such as complex topology, large volume and high loss. In order to overcome these shortcomings, a novel half load-cycle worked dual SEPIC single-stage inverter, which is based on the analysis of the relationship between input and output voltages of SEPIC converters operating in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), is presented in this paper. The traditional single-stage inverter has remarkable advantages in small and medium power applications, but it can’t realize boost DC/AC output directly. Besides one pre-boost DC/DC converter is needed between the DC source and the traditional single-stage inverter. A novel DC/AC inverter without pre-boost DC/DC converter, which is comprised of two SEPIC converters, is studied. The output of dual SEPIC converters is connected with anti-parallel and half load-cycle control is used to realize boost and buck DC/AC output directly and work properly, whatever the DC input voltage is higher or lower than the AC output voltage. The working principle, parameter selection and the control strategy of the inverters are analyzed in this paper. Simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility of the new inverter.
