Universidad de Zaragoza Multi-Resonant Power Converter for Improved Dual-Frequency Induction Heating 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Industrial induction heating is a key manufacturing process due to its benefits in terms of efficiency, cleanliness, and high performance. These has made possible the extension of this technology to a wide range of industries from automotive to aeronautic, domestic or renewable energies. One of the main challenges still present is the design of a high performance and cost-effective process for those induction targets with complex geometries exposed to the magnetic field, being the most representative example the gears present in most mechanical systems. Usually, in order to optimize the heating process, multi-frequency induction heating systems are used, being often expensive and/or difficult to tune and control. The aim of this paper is, consequently, to propose a family of power converters able to supply the inductor system with two simultaneous frequencies in order to improve the heating process of the induction target. The proposed converter takes advantage of a multi-resonant network allowing full control of the output power delivered at each frequency and, at the same time, a compact and cost-effective implementation. The proposed converter is analyzed, designed and implemented, and experimental verification of its operation is provided in this paper. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/FSE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/RTC-2014-1847-6 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TEC2016-78358-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2017-TEC-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 7.224 2018 ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC 16 / 265 = 0.06 2018 Q1 T1 2.51 2018 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-1284-9007 Lucia, O.
