Solar BasedInduction Heating System

Induction Heating system utilizes electricity for the generation of heat, whereas solar energy is largely available energy source for generation of heat. Combining solar energy with induction heat generation technique is the efficient solution for the heat generation application. The proposed system presents an effective control scheme incorporated in half bridge series resonance induction heating by using solar energy. Pulse width modulation technology is used for charging the battery from photovoltaic array. The simulation and implementation of system is done and presented in this paper. The experimental result of conventional solar heating and solar induction heating are compared. It shows that proposed system, improvises heating performance compared to conventional solar heating system.
