INDUSTRIAL GRADE INDUCTION HEATING BY PV
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryIn Modern era, the use of the solar power energy is increases in every field of the life. Many areas have found the utility of the PV solar panels. In this project, it is sought to find a possibility of the usage of PV solar panels to run induction heating for the industry. The induction of this project is to reduce the population caused by a traditional heating mechanism like coal-firing secondly. The use of induction heating in industrial applications is economical. Furthermore, induction heating makes the heating process consistent. An Inverter will be developed that converts DC from solar panels to AC for induction heating.
Many new PV solar-based inventions are emerging like solar power automobiles, solar powered irrigation system, solar power motor, solar power air conditioner etc. But on the industrial arena mostly coal is used for heating and steaming purpose. It’s very costly and causes pollution. In this work, it is intended to decrease the cost of electricity with the help of solar power. To create a varying magnetic field from the single-phase frequency inverter that produces the single-phase linear induction coil. This will be used to generate uniform heating of a metal surface. In this work, both hardware and software will be designed and implemented. In our project design and implement the DC-DC booster converts and DC-AC inverter.
Solar panel produces the energy in DC form. It can be stored in battery also. After that DC-DC booster will be designed. DC-DC booster converts 12V coming from the solar panel to 24V. Then this voltage moves to the inverter. Output from the inverter is AC, which is sent to the coil to produce induction heating in the target metal piece (Thin plate of Tin (Sn)).
Project Objectives- To design and implement a system that provides consistent induction heating to metallic objects

Development Stage
In order to work effectively project is divided into different stages defined as following:
Interfacing of DC-DC booster , DC-AC inverter , Battery and PCB
In this project, we get the source voltage from the Solar Panel then is gives to the DC-DC booster circuit. Then its store in to battery. After that its DC-AC inverter circuit. Now, this inverter voltage are use heating that gives red hot material in the result
Benefits of the Project- Cost effective
- Less Power of energy will be use
- Use the Solar panels instead of the DC voltages
- Solar panel-based appliances are commonly available as AC appliances

Some of the factor is given bellow as follow
Eddy Current Loss
When a motor core is turned throughout a magnetic flux then can increase magnetic flux then a voltage, or voltage is induced among the coils. The voltage unit induce among the coil produces this currents that unit flow in it, is believed as eddy current. The power loss at presently remarked as eddy current loss. The equation of the eddy current loss is given bellow as follow.
Pe = Ke * Bmax2 * f2 * t2 * V
-
Hysteresis Loss
Hysteresis loss methodology is caused by the magnetization and action of the core as current flows among the forward and reverse directions. Once the magnetization force is will increase then the magnetic flux unit of measurement will increase. Then the magnetizing force is will increase then the magnetic flux unit of measurement decreases, however less bit by bit.
The equation for hysteresis loss is given as:
Pb = ? * Bmaxn * f * V
Latent Heat of Energy
Energy absorbs or release by a body during certain temperature.
- Dq=mL (m=mass of the body, L=specific latent heat of material)
- Dq=cmDT (c=specific latent heat of water, L=DT=change in temperature)
- Dq= cm(T-T0) (T=initial temperature, T0= final temperature)
Some of the latent heat require for AL and the Tin is 396kl/kg, 56kl/kg respectively.
Magnetic Field
- B=moI2PR
Where mo is qeual to 4*10-7(m/A)
Magnetic Flux
- F=B.A
- F=BAcosq
In which the B is the magnetic field produce in phenomena of the heating the coil and A is cross sectional area and the q is angle made between them.
Heat Filament Design Equation
- =specific latent heat of material
- DT=change in temperature
- = Weight of the material
h=hours to reach set-point
