Resumen: Flexible cooking surfaces have changed the domestic induction heating product paradigm enabling the use of a wider range of cookware materials, shapes, and positions. In order to implement such systems, multiple-output resonant inverters featuring high-performance and high-efficiency operation while achieving a cost-effective implementation are required. This paper proposes a multiple-output zero-voltage-switching resonant inverter for flexible induction heating appliances. The proposed converter features a matrix structure, enabling a cost-effective implementation with a reduced number of power devices while achieving high performance and low switching losses. It has been tested by means of an experimental prototype featuring 48 induction heating coils, proving the feasibility of the proposed approach.
