Design and implementation of an energy efficient DC induction cook stove

Abstract

The operational costs of using electricity greatly outstrip costs of high-power devices like cookers and dc induction cook stoves. The available dc induction cook stoves work by converting low voltage DC to AC voltage which is then rectified into high voltage DC which is fed into the resonant circuit. This design is based on a cook stove that feeds low voltage DC from a solar panel or battery directly into the resonant circuit eliminating the need for an additional inverter stage. This design is shown from designing a resonant LC tank, the oscillating circuit and simulating this to implementing the concept.
