Solar-Powered Improved Full Bridge Resonant Inverter for High-Frequency Industrial Applications

Abstract

Electrical energy consumption is alarmingly rising, but the availability of conventional sources is limited. To meet the increasing demand; the implementation of non-conventional sources is the need of the hour. Solar energy is the most sustainable alternative for power generation among non-conventional sources families. Resonant inverters are used in low-power high-frequency induction heating appliances. Full-bridge resonant inverters are most commonly used to convert solar received power into the suitable form required for high-frequency application device by providing maximum power to the load at resonant frequency The aim of the paper is to analyze the working of the resonant inverter by taking the input supply from the solar panel and converting the obtained dc input to ac input through the resonant inverter. This obtained output is supplied for the high-frequency industrial application which mainly includes Induction frequency heating Applications. Induction heating is one of the techniques used in casting foundry for the treatment of metals. It involves the heat treatment of the metals namely annealing, hardening tempering method. goes here.
