Photovoltaic Integrated Solar Induction Heater Using Voltage Source Inverter

Abstract

In the fast-life era, all rely on the latest and cheapest technology that would make life more befitting, comfortable, and dynamic. So, a new idea is desired which could improvise the extant technology with some ancillary addendums. Solar energy has always been vital for mankind. With augment in anxiety in conventional energy sources, renewable sources such as solar energy are gaining enormous significance. One application of solar energy is the photovoltaic (PV) technology that transmutes solar energy to electric energy by the virtue of solar cells. Photovoltaic energy is either implemented as a stand-alone energy source or allied to the grid as distributed energy generation. Thus, it can say that in near future almost all of the energy consumption will be based on solar energy. The solar system is used in this paper to power a PV-integrated solar induction heater. The users will find it easier to manage the solar system in an induction heating system, and the system's reliability will improve. The proposed concept of induction heating and solar energy is integrated to achieve greater efficacy for cooking purposes.
